The MDA STEM Boosting Engineering, Science, and Technology (BEST) Robotics Grants provide a means for Official BEST Robotics Inc.
Local Competition Hubs to obtain financial support for providing direct teacher professional development to teachers within their first three (3) years of being a team
teacher for a BEST Robotics team.
This teacher professional development increases the number of students able to complete and engage in this meaningful STEM learning opportunity and expand the accessibility of this program to underserved populations, specifically Title 1 schools, who would otherwise not have access to the resources necessary to fully engage.
