Supporting education of technology and innovation.

Southern Colorado Robotics or SoCoRobo is a 501(c)(3) organization was formed in 2022 to support STEM Education in the Southern Colorado region.

It started because of our experience with the FIRST® Inspires programs in the school we worked at. We thought, “Everyone should do this!” and looked into how we could help spread the fun and education of robotics. But understanding that robotics is just the tip of the iceberg, we decided we should ensure anyone who wants to do anything STEM related should only be limited by their imagination!

That became our purpose and goal. To enable and inspire all youths to pursue STEM/STEAM related education and to never let financial or logistical issues deter youths from experiencing, learning and enjoying these all-important life changing experiences.
