Improving community livestechnology 505 Robotics is a student-run non-profit uniting four disciplines — computer science, robotics, biomedicine, and humanities — to make STEM accessible to every community we serve.
— Our Branches
Four disciplines. Each branch operates independently but converges on shared community impact — competitions, outreach, and open knowledge.
Build & Engineer
Robotics Designing, building, and programming competitive VEX Robotics systems — while bringing STEM outreach into underprivileged schools across the country.
▸ Field 2 competitive VEX Robotics teams▸ Compete in 5+ televised competitions across the US▸ Participate in 15+ regional competitions with social media coverage▸ Provide financial support for competitions to underprivileged members▸ Visit underprivileged elementary, middle, and high schools to promote VEX Robotics and encourage STEMSoftware & Algorithms
Computer Science Running signature hackathons, competitive teams, free tutoring, and an advanced algorithms camp to make computer science accessible and rigorous.
▸ Signature Hackathons: original local and non-local hackathons that raise organizational funds and foster engagement in STEM▸ Competitive Hackathon Team: an in-house team competing in high-level hackathons virtually and in person▸ Free Computer Science Tutoring: accessible academic aid and peer tutoring for rigorous CS courses▸ USACO Training Camp: a dedicated camp running until December, focused on advanced algorithmic problem-solving for the USA Computing OlympiadCommunity Outreach Pillar
Humanities Channeling student volunteers into fundraising, competition, and education programs that broaden access to STEM and computer science.
▸ Helping underprivileged, elderly, and disabled people learning how to use technology to their benefit▸ Provide financial support to underprivileged STEM students who want to compete in VEX Robotics, Hackathons, and other STEM Competitions▸ Provide free tutoring for students in difficult Computer Science coursesHealthcare × Technology
BioMed Building biomedical competition teams at both the middle and high school levels — with plans to expand as our membership and sponsorships grow.
▸ Compete in Medicine Bowl and eCYBERMISSION for both high school and middle school students▸ Expand into more competitions as we grow members and sponsorships01 Robotics 02 Computer Science 03 Humanities 04 BioMed
