The Greater Spokane Incorporated Manufacturers Roundtable is interested in enlarging the manufacturing and technology talent pool throughout the region. By providing students with relevant hands-on experience, many will pursuit well paying manufacturing and technology careers; and in doing so will help to reduce the regions skilled labor shortage gap. We believe that such experiences build essential life skills, and teach people that "IT'S COOL TO MAKE STUFF”.

We are committed to providing the resources necessary to form these robot teams. All that is needed are people that are passionate about kids and kids that are passionate about technology and having fun. Be prepared to have your socks knocked off by the students, teachers and the ROBOTS from five area high school teams.
