Overview
Mission
Provide STEM opportunities for youth through robotics
What it reported doing in 2024
Tech - Middle and high school students design, build, and program robots using a combination of off-the-shelf parts, custom designs, and 3D printing to compete in themed challenges. Teams develop engineering, coding, and collaboration skills in a competitive, team-based environment.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 73% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
