X-Bots Robotics To Launch Expansion Of STEM Program With Santa Clarita Boys And Girls Club – KHTS Radio

Coming to Santa Clarita this Saturday, X-Robotics Inc. is expected to be launching a pilot expansion of their partnered program with the PPG Foundation and the Boys & Girls Club (BGC).

The X-Bots Robotics Mobility Program presented by PPG is expanding its reach to Santa Clarita on Sept. 11 in remembrance of the 20th anniversary of the tragic terror attacks that took place in 2001.

This event is scheduled to take place at Santa Clarita Valley Boys and Girls Club on Sept. 11 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Santa Clarita Valley B&G is one of six sites in California where this pilot expansion is set to happen.

X-Bots Robotics, PPG Foundation and Boys and Girls Club will join together to create a unique opportunity to engage in hands-on technical engineering programming that not only develops students leadership skills and inspires them to pursue a career in STEM, but also serves local families on September 11th, through the generous support of the PPG Foundation. we will launch a pilot expansion of the X-Bots Robotics Mobility Program across six Boys & Girls Club sites in California to assist families who have toddlers with mobility issues, said Elisa Avila, executive director of X-Bots Robotics Inc.

This combo of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) extracurricular program gives students an opportunity to partner in a robotics team with their local BGC and together create specially designed physical therapy cars for limited-mobility toddlers with cerebral disorders.

This program enables students to explore hobbies and careers in the STEM arena while also giving back to their friends, family and neighbors in their communities, according to officials.

The pilot expansion is set to launch at the following BGC sites in California: BGC of Whittier | Pico Rivera, BGC of Cathedral City, BGC of Fontana, BGC of Malibu, BGC of Santa Monica and Santa Clarita Valley BGC.

Each of the listed BGC locations are expected to in partnership host one X-Bots Robotics Mobility workshop. This is intended to enable the student participants to use problem-solving skills, peer-to-peer collaboration, improving engineering skills, all while bringing joy to limited mobility children and their families.

At PPG, we know that education sits at the helm of the innovation that will shape our world for generations to come. Through this partnership, our aim is to open future opportunities to both the students who will find and explore their passions in STEM fields and families in needThe X-Bots Robotics program reinforces this by encouraging future engineers and scientists to experience the joy of experimentation and discovery and by demonstrating the immediate impacts both community service and STEM concepts make in the lives of others, said Malesia Dunn, executive director of PPG Foundation and Corporate Global Social Responsibility.
