Abstract

In this paper, I will explore the main robotics programs in this country and how a district can
participate in robotics. Because STEM is the fastest growing job area each year jobs are being created; therefore, school districts have to introduce our students to these fields and help them to gain the experience needed to determine if this is their future. Only by working in a culturally responsive way to introduce careers to our students can we truly meet the needs of our students and ensure they are prepared for their future.
