Our Mission Statement

   Science and Technology Group (STG) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation founded in November 2001 to promote technology education for K-12 youth through experiential learning and partnerships with workplace technical professionals, primarily scientist and engineers. STG is principally a catalyst organization that provides infrastructure, training, and other support to facilitate volunteer technical professionals in their interaction with students in a defined area of service.

Mission & Goals

   The current objective of this organization is simple: get students excited about science, math, and technology. We will accomplish this via the competitive robotics programs.

Strategic Objectives

· Create and foster excitement for science and technology in K-12 youth through competitive science activities modeled after athletic competitions.

· Use science competitions as a vehicle to involve volunteer technical professionals in the education process.

· Develop inquiry-based curriculum based on the concepts used in the competitions, in order to reach all students and enable systemic change in science and technology education.

· Reach out to all segments of the student population who are underrepresented in science and technology.

People

   STG is a volunteer organization in which many people and organizations devote a large amount of time to STG’s activities. The strength of STG is the volunteers.
