STEMBot Outreach Program
February 2024, UWRT went to the Columbus School for Girls. There the team showed off Talos, the team’s newest robot, and gave students the chance to ask questions and interact with it. Additionally, Amber, the team’s president from 2023-2024, shared her journey in engineering and robotics. The event gave young girls the chance to see what a career in STEM could offer. Some lucky attendees even got to take the reins and maneuver Talos through obstacles underwater, experiencing firsthand the thrill the team feels at RoboSub.
STEMBot Outreach Program
Beginning of the year 2022, the team ran the pilot program of STEMBot, a 5-week after-school program at Rosemore middle school. Each day members taught science and engineering principles leading up to putting together and driving mini-robosubs! The program was a resounding success and the beginning of many!
The team continued STEMBot in 2023, returning to Rosemore Middle School with an improved lesson plan. Focused on polishing the program from the previous year, this year the team gave students additional hands on experience developing underwater vehicles.

Maker X
Maker X is a local maker fair that takes place at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. It serves as an opportunity get the community involved in projects ranging from cosplays to battlebots.
Cosi Events and Conferences
For several years, UWRT has worked with the local science center, COSI, and gone to conferences to give presentations and demonstrations about robotics to audiences from elementary to retirement.
