We want every student in California to have the opportunity to join a robotics team. Robotics in schools exposes students to industry-level practices like CAD and Image Recognition while building teamwork and collaborative skills. Providing funding to schools and directly to teams removes a cost barrier, supporting new and under-resourced teams. Thus, we want federal dollars given to California to be increasingly allocated to bills supporting robotics; during our California Advocacy Leadership Conference, teams will learn to ask our representatives for additional funding for extracurricular activities and robotics teams.
