Who We AreThe RoboLancers are a student-operated, adult-mentored robotics program based out of Central High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The program was founded in 1999 as FIRST Robotics Team #321 and included five students from the school. Since then, the program has evolved into a multi-faceted organization of 60 students and 9 adult mentors that - with a $20,000 per year budget - competes in two to three competitions, hosts various STEM training and outreach programs around the city, and has become a shining example of what students in a struggling urban setting can do if given the opportunity.

What We DoThe RoboLancers provide students with a complete immersion in STEM problem solving. Students are given hands-on engineering experience as they work in teams to solve electrical, mechanical, and programming problems. Students work with solid modeling programs, programming languages, web design software, and control systems. The students themselves then use this gained knowledge to inspire other students in Philadelphia to become interested in STEM fields through various school and community events; including hosting the Philly Robotics Expo, mentoring at FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and FIRST Lego League (FLL) events, building robots for theater groups, participating in a documentary about high school robotics teams, and demonstrating their robots at district schools and STEM awareness events.

Our GoalsA primary goal of the RoboLancers is to work with the students in Central High School, the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), and the greater Philadelphia area to inspire their involvement in STEM and computer science fields. The program is unique in that it empowers those disadvantaged and underrepresented populations on a small scale in order that they themselves may engage those populations on a larger scale. Other program goals include the following: To inspire every individual that builds with, learns from, cheers

for, or hears about the team to have confidence in themselves and in their future

To spark students’ interest in STEM and computer science within the School District and the City of Philadelphia, and ultimately produce young adults who contribute to the community, country, and world in STEM fields

To prepare students for enrollment in higher education with an interest toward obtaining engineering, computer science, and other STEM related degrees

To foster a positive self-image, leadership skills, teamwork and moral behavior among Philadelphia students

To transform the image of Philadelphia to one which is a hub for advanced technology through various partnerships with local businesses and universities
