Taking STEM into the Outback.🔬🚜 In 2022, engineer Jameson Harvey founded Red Dirt Robotics to bring innovative STEM education to remote, rural and regional Australia, addressing the gap in STEM opportunities for rural youth. Using combined robotics, drones and 3D printers, the program works to sustain STEM initiatives in the Outback by inspiring students and equipping educators. With funding from the ABC Trailblazer program, an FRRR Heywire Youth Innovation grant and, most recently, a Backing the Future grant supported by Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation, Jameson toured QLD, delivering 64 workshops to more than 900 students and 100 teachers.

🎥 Excited to Share My Vision at Bett 2025! 🎥 I had an incredible opportunity to present Pixelia at the Innovation Theater during the Bett Show! 🚀 In my pitch, I shared the story behind why I founded Pixelia and the urgent need for STEM-focused education companies in the UK. With the rapid advancement of technology, it’s crucial to equip the next generation with the skills to thrive in a tech-driven world. At Pixelia, we’re tackling this challenge by offering hands-on STEM programs in robotics, AI, drones, and programming for students aged 6-18. We also partner with schools to provide STEM kits, curriculum, and teacher training, making STEM education accessible and impactful. I’m excited to connect with educators, investors, and innovators to shape the future of STEM education together. If you’re at Bett, visit us at the Startup Zone, Stand FS2, and let’s chat about how we can inspire the innovators of tomorrow. #Bett2025 #InnovationTheater #STEMEducation #EdTech #Pixelia #FutureReady #Robotics #AI #DronesInEducation

STEM2 Hub seeks to ensure that all students can engage in high-quality experiences that will open doors to future #STEM careers. Like DigiU Tech Labs, the Hub aims to expand accelerated skill sets for students who traditionally lack access and opportunity to "relevant technologies", ie. mechanization, software development, and big data analysis...to compete in today's tech-savvy workforce. Each year through 2024, five schools will be selected in FPL’s service area to receive the $50,000 grant. The grants are intended to provide transformational learning opportunities for Black students in classroom settings, as all recipient schools are comprised of at least 25% Black students. The Classroom Makeover Grant program directly addresses needs in infrastructure, technology or resources (i.e., software, equipment, books, training of teachers, tutors, and paraprofessionals)." “Our STEM Classroom Makeover Grant allows us to invest in our next generation to help provide transformational learning opportunities for Black students in a STEM classroom setting,” said Pamela Rauch, vice president of external affairs and economic development for FPL. “We are excited that these projects will be one of the first, as we complete our inaugural year of implementing this grant, which allows us to support both educators and students, our next generation of leaders.” STEM2 Hub has been engaged to administer FPL’s robotics sponsorship program, which supports dozens of clubs and thousands of STEM fans throughout FPL’s 43-county service territory. Complete the form below to apply for up to $750 in tech funding. https://lnkd.in/eADSzUix

https://chng.it/Fv5dBc59rd So proud to share that #FTC12565Medusa is actively advocating for the acceptance of FIRST Robotics as a full fulfillment credit in education, through the Mesusa #FTC12565 Petition! #science #technology #engineering #math #projectbasedlearning #computerscience Just as many colleges recognize sports participation as a valid physical education credit, we believe that the skills developed in FIRST Robotics—teamwork, problem-solving, engineering, and innovation—are equally deserving of formal recognition. #STEMeducation This initiative not only acknowledges the hard work and dedication of young engineers but also encourages more students to engage in STEM activities. By supporting this petition, we can help pave the way for future generations of #innovators #Futureisnow Join them in this endeavor, and let’s get FIRST Robotics the recognition it truly deserves! #studentdriven #FIRSTRobotics #STEMEducation #Innovation #Petition #Advocacy

Robotics isn't just for boys! Girls bring creativity, innovation, and a unique perspective to the world of robotics—and the benefits are endless! At the end of #NationalRoboticsWeek, we celebrate the girls in robotics! Engaging in robotics in middle and high school isn't just about building robots; it's about building confidence, problem-solving skills, and a passion for STEM. Girls learn to think critically, work collaboratively, and embrace challenges head-on by immersing themselves in robotics. Our campuses work hard to encourage students to get involved in robotics; whether through after-school activities, school clubs, or off-campus organizations, our students can use their STEM knowledge to build, create, and innovate through robotics. Let's continue to encourage more girls to get involved in robotics! #YWPN #robotics #girlsinrobotics #girlsinSTEM #steminists #educationmatters
