Who We Are
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 scientists and engineers. STG is principally a catalyst organization that provides infrastructure, financial guidance, and other support to facilitate volunteer technical professionals in their interaction with students in a defined area of service.
Mission & Goals
The objectives of this organization are simple: get students excited about science, math, and technology. We will accomplish this via 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 robotics competitions as a vehicle to involve volunteer technical professionals in the education process.
- Employ 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.
