My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for Florida First Robotics Education Foundation Inc, Cocoa Beach, FL, USA
This organization works tirelessly to ensure that the experience of robotic competition is not only fun and exciting, but has a positive impact on students and their futures. This is so much more than building a robot. Students are exposed not only to STEM academics, but all academics. They take what they have learned in a classroom and apply it to a real life situation. They learn real team skills, presentation skills,and have the most fun of their lives. They are learning without knowing that is what they are doing. I have seen involved students go to great jobs and very productive lives. The students have seen the application of their skills in a diverse array of occupations. When I was a sponsor, my students were so much better for the time they spent. Many of the students got scholarships and now have great jobs. This group does more for students than any athletic program. My hope is that every school from 3rd grade to 12th grade would have this be an integral part of the curriculum. It answers the age old question of the classroom, "How will this help me in the real world?"
