Welcome to STEMRobotics! We are a non-profit group that is bringing '''S'''cience '''T''''echnology '''E'''ngineering and '''M'''athematics ('''STEM''') to students by using competiton robotics. Driving the robots in Competitions is a small part of what we do. From the beginning we teach each roboteer valuable life skills like communications, planning, getting a group consensus, cooperation and negotiations. We also bring to life STEM skills in areas of electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, programming by planning, designing, building (and sometimes rebuilding), testing and driving our robots. == Workshops == Tuesday nights: 6:30-8:30pm. We will be working through the Yolande Petersen Guides below in Resources. (Downingtown Education Center, 355 Manor Ave, Downingtown, PA 19335) For June9th, please read the "Clueless Coach" article. == Events == The [[STEMRobotics:Current_events | Current Events list]]!! Don't miss the [[Summer of Fun 2009]] Some of our past events have been: ;Radcorp Summer of Fun 2007: We held a number of robot build nights and some competitions. ;[[Summer of Fun 2008]]: More events and more competitions! == Resources == [[Media:Steps_to_starting_a_VEX_robotics_program.pdf]] -- CMU's guide to Starting a Vex Robotics Program.
