STEM Ambassadors
A volunteer student group promoting STEM Education
The STEM Ambassadors are a group of our students that promote STEM education among their peers. Rolling robots organizes several outreach events for this team throughout California. in previous years we have promoted robotics day at Compton Unified School District, Volunteered at the VEX IQ tournament, and attended the VEX state Championship. One of our biggest events was attending the Google Science Fair as a VIP guest demonstrating the World Championship Skyrise Robot during the Awards Ceremony streamed live worldwide. This volunteer group earns service hours towards the President's Volunteer Service Award.
