SkyBot Engineering & Business Innovation Challenge

Skybot Engineering & Business Innovation Challenge (SEBIC) mission is to promote the enhancement of public knowledge and the inspiration of academic acceleration students at all levels of education through outreach programs that inspire, inform, enlighten, and achieve the necessary levels of STEM principals and practical application that help propel the United States to world leadership in robotics and UAS fields.

Future City Competition

Future City is a cross-curricular program that lets students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades do the things engineers do: identify problems, brainstorm ideas, design solutions, test and retest, build and then share the results. Students present their solutions via a virtual city design (using SimCity); a 1,500-word city description; a scale model; a project plan, and a presentation to judges at Regional Competitions in January. Regional winners represent their region at the National Finals in Washington, DC in February. After the competition is over, student participants are not only prepared to be citizens of today’s complex and technical world, they are poised to become the drivers of tomorrow.

FIRST Nevada Robotics

FIRST Nevada is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization promoting FIRST Robotics programs and STEM education initiatives in Nevada.

FIRST = For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.

FIRST Nevada programs benefit the community by increasing STEM knowledge and 21st century work-life skills of its youth participants, with the ultimate goal of increasing the local STEM workforce pipeline. FIRST programs provide actual hands-on experiences which put into practice what students learn in the classroom, engaging them and making learning relevant. Our programs incorporate best-practice strategies to engage youth and cultivate interest in STEM. We seek to involve as many children from grades K-12 as possible. In science and technology industries, minorities and women are typically underrepresented. At FIRST Nevada, we welcome and encourage these under-served groups in our programs.

Project Lead The Way

Project Lead The Way (PLTW) is the nation’s leading provider of K-12 STEM programs.
