ATX Robotics sponsors Howdy Bots FRC 6377, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the State of Texas.
We provide quality STEAM programs to youth of all ages in the Austin area, regardless of their educational status or ability. Our organization focuses on providing access to robotics competitions to students who are otherwise ineligible to participate because they are not enrolled in a traditional school or lack access to a team at their school. We provide students the opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder with volunteer professional engineers and business people to collaborate in hands-on activities designed to foster interest and to promote education in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM). Though we started as a high school-age robotics team competing in the FIRST Robotics Competition, we have a much bigger vision of expanding robotics and STEAM education to children of all ages.
In addition to the Howdy Bots 6377, ATX Robotics currently sponsors a second program, the North Austin Science Alliance (NASA). Added in 2017, NASA is a weekly program that allows kids from age 6 through 18 to explore a wide range of hands-on science topics, including visits from guest speakers. Additionally, NASA offers kids the chance to participate in 3 different nationally recognized competitions: Science Bowl, Science Fest, and Science Olympiad.
