An Act establishing an elementary and secondary school robotics grant program
This bill establishes the Workforce Preparation Robotics grant program to fund robotics and STEM activities in public and charter schools. It provides specific grant amounts based on school level (elementary/middle/high), whether a school has an existing robotics program, and the competition type (e.g., FIRST, VEX, Science Olympiad), with higher funding for schools without established programs. Schools in Cape Cod and Western Massachusetts receive priority, and applicants must commit to registering with approved robotics organizations. Grants are awarded annually based on available funding, with applications due by June 1st for the following academic year.
