S P A M ROBOTICS

S.P.A.M. (Speed, Power, and Maneuverability) is a team of high school students from Martin County (FL) mentored by adults employed in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields and various other professions and occupations. In a six-week build season, we design, fabricate, assemble, program and test a fully-functioning robot to compete in intense challenges against teams from around the world... In the 6-week build season, S.P.A.M. teaches more than just "how to build a robot." We learn to work with limited time and resources while gaining the skills and experiences necessary to pursue jobs in the STEM fields and lead us into successful futures. We build leadership skills by working with mentors as our guides, giving students ample opportunity to contribute to the team independently. We are able to sustain our program through the generous donations and sponsorships of local and national businesses, organizations and individuals.
