The STEAM Connection

one robot at a time

The STEAM Connection is on a mission to make technical education accessible for youth through the power of robotics.

Designing, manufacturing, and distributing leading robots... and giving them away for free.

Community built and led by youth who are minorities and represent our students.

Paving the way for Indigenous youths to pursue Science & Technology careers.
