FIRST robotics

I am passionate about future STEM (Science, Technology, Engineer, Math) talent.  That led to my other role as the Chairman of the Queen City Robotics Alliance (QCRA).  Our mission is:

Developing the future workforce by providing practical and hands on STEM experiences for local youth.

QCRA leverages STEM programs to help youth learn life and workplace skills in teamwork, technology, business, and communication.
  • Developing FIRST robotics teams, hosting FIRST events, supporting educators and volunteers.
  • Building FIRST Zones for youth and teams to meet, learn, build and exchange ideas.
  • Promoting early engagement of youth from various backgrounds, including traditionally underrepresented populations.
FIRST is the first STEM program that has long term studies proving its impact on our students.  More than 75% of students indicated their problem solving skills improved after participating in the program.  I would like to encourage you to join me in volunteering and providing your financial support whenever and wherever.  Contact me if you would like to know more and I would be more than thrilled to share with you.
