The Pennsylvania Rural Robotics Initiative formed in the spring of 2018 as an educational consortium of Western Pennsylvania schools.  Our goal was to work collaboratively across the region to create sustainable, world-class STEM education experiences that would engage our students as we prepare them for 21st century careers.

​

As we have expanded our regional K-12 footprint and programming, we have also grown our partnerships and friendships within higher education, workforce and economic development, government, industry and business, and the non-profit community.  Working together within our STEM ecosystem, we strive to support our schools, empower our teachers and provide our students with experiences and opportunities that they deserve and employers demand.
