As a girls team operating in the male dominated field of engineering, we fully understand the importance of diversifying the rapidly growing world of STEM and we feel it is our responsibility to share our love for STEM with as many younger students as possible. We launched our Gear Up! movement in 2019 to create an accessible, low-cost robotics curriculum to teach and share with other teams, teachers, and organizations. Our team believes that having a fundamental understanding of computer science and mechanical engineering is critical, especially with the advent of new technology in the decades to come. Beyond just engineering tools, we believe taking students through the entire design process provides them with foundational life skills such as interviewing, giving feedback, problem solving, presentational speaking, and empathy. Simply put, our curriculum gives students basic engineering tools and life skills in a self-contained, low resource/cost structure which empowers them to design solutions for challenges they identify in their own communities.
