<h2 class="major2">Going beyond the classroom with NexTech Robotics</h2>
<p>
Unleash your inner innovator with NexTech Robotics! Originally created by an inspired UC Merced
undergraduate in Computer Science, the NexTech program and its undergraduate student
educators teach students the value of teamwork and how to think like an engineer using VEX IQ 2.0
kits. Through a curriculum involving friendly competitions and real-world scenarios, middle and
high school students gain a thorough introduction to problem-solving in STEM, exploring concepts
like coding, engineering design, and more. The program provides real-world scenarios in ag-tech
innovations using case studies and articles from real research projects, providing students with
unique insight into the practical applications of robotics in agriculture-related fields.
</p>
<p>
CITRIS at UC Merced’s innovative computer science and robotics program has been serving San
Joaquin Valley middle school students since 2015. CITRIS NexTech Education interns—UC Merced
undergraduate students majoring in Computer Science and Engineering and Mechanical
Engineering—serve as near-peer mentors to engage the NexTech students and illustrate a pathway
to success in higher education.
</p>
<p>
Robots are fun, creative and present multi-dimensional problems that translate into engineering,
math and computer science skills. They’re also a gateway to engage many student interests and
skills. Students work independently and in teams to develop computational thinking. Through in-class
and after-school sessions NexTech students practice scratch and block coding, learn about
sensors, run competitive courses, and solve problems. Students can see themselves succeeding in
technology after exploring NexTech Robotics.
</p>
<p>
NexTech Robotics is free to students, schools, and community-based organizations.
