Our Mission
Providing educators and students from underrepresented groups in STEM an opportunity to delve into the world of competitive VEX robotics through guided instructions on designing, building, and programming their introductory competitive robot.
​
Boost Robotics was founded in 2020 to help teams build their first competition robot during the pandemic. What began as guidance for a few teams quickly grew into a full program: each season, we design beginner-friendly curriculum tailored to the VEX VRC competition. Since then, we’ve grown from under 40 to over 140 students each year. As of 2023, all our curriculum is publicly available on this site.
