For The Win Robotics (FTW)

For The Win Robotics focuses on fostering critical thinking and lifelong curiosity through the power of experiential STEM and computer science education. Our work is expansive, reaching more than 1,000 schools across the United States. For the Win Robotics' STEM and computer science programming is available for every education setting - from K-12 classrooms to college campuses, afterschool programs to summer camps, in-person classes to virtual or hybrid learning environments - and is implemented in the nonprofit, business, and government sectors. With our Build | Fly | Code program, we have developed an innovative education system that offers educators new professional development opportunities while making STEM and computer science education fun for learners. Hands-on lessons incorporating both hardware and software, enable us to make the principles of flight theory, mechanical design, and coding accessible for learners of all ages. Our focus on experiential education means that we are constantly innovating to ensure our programs reach as many students as possible, including under-resourced students and those with different learning styles or abilities. By promoting collaboration, critical thinking, and curiosity, we are helping build essential skills today's students need to become the workforce of the future.
