SaMoTech Robotics
This program is a student-led, community-based robotics nonprofit in Santa Monica who welcome kids from across the Westside to give local kids hands-on experience in engineering, coding, CAD and teamwork. The funds will go towards buying robot parts and paying competition fees since Santa Monica schools don't fund robotics. This will also fund their free STEM outreach demos for younger kids at Santa Monica elementary schools.
