Robotics Resource Center

WPI blazed a trail in robotics when it became the first university in the nation to offer a bachelor's degree in robotics. Soon after, it became one of the few to offer graduate degrees in this discipline. But interest in robotics begins early and WPI's Robotics Resource Center helps improve access to robotics, STEM, and hands-on learning through high-quality education and competitions for younger students.

Pre-Collegiate Outreach

WPI offers programs throughout the year that inspire middle and high school students to learn more about STEM fields. With a hands-on approach and exciting topics, our pre-collegiate programs are an excellent way to gain insight into STEM.
