What is Unified Robotics?

Unified Robotics is an inclusive STEM education program that brings together students with and without intellectual and developmental disabilties to design, build, and program robots. This hands-on program fosters teamwork, technical skills, and inclusion, allowing students to develop confidence and lasting friendships while engaging in STEM.

Our Approach

Unified Robotics teaches essential STEM and social skills through inclusive robotics practices and competitions, offering students the chance to collaborate and problem-solve as part of a team.

Approach Image

+ Technical Skills

Students learn to design, program, and build robots using simple but robust robotics kits, which help develop problem-solving skills.

+ Social and Emotional Growth

Participants work in mixed-ability teams, enhancing their teamwork, social, and communication skills.
