We partnered with the Shanghai No. 3 Girls' School to start the first all-girls robotics team in China. In 2013 and 2014, we hosted a delegation from Shanghai of five girls and two teachers for nine days, where they attended a regional FRC competition in San Jose and participated in our robotics and programming workshops. In subsequent years, Gatorbotics has continued to provide remote mentorship to them as they launch their robotics program. |
Castilleja Middle School Mentorship
In past years, members of the high school Gatorbotics team have mentored and coached participants in Castilleja's Middle School FLL robotics team. Even though our school no longer has a Middle School FLL team, Gatorbotics members continue to mentor younger students participating in our new Castilleja Middle School robotics program twice a week. |

Halford Young Women Leaders' Program
Halford Young Women Leaders is a program where under-resourced 4th and 5th-grade girls are paired with 10th-12th grade members of the Casti Halford ACE Org. Gatorbotics members have created a custom curriculum tailored to the Halford Young Women Leadership Program. Gatorbotics members teach the girls robotics every other meeting by leading catapult, motor, circuit, etc. lessons. |
Castilleja's online robotics class taught robotics-related lessons to local elementary school students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The class received ~100 sign-ups and provided students with the structure and small-group learning opportunities they lacked in their elementary school classes.

Big Gator-Little Gator program
|
Each year, new Gatorbotics members are paired with a returning member which allows new members to receive the proper guidance, mentorship and friendship from a more experienced robotics teammate. |
KIPP schools are public charter schools founded with a commitment to excellence and a belief that children will be able to build a better tomorrow for us all if we help them develop the academic and character strengths they need for college and choice-filled lives. We partnered with KIPP to help the school start its own FLL team and improve their STEM program. |
Eighth Grade Shadow Days
Eight grade shadow days give rising freshmen who currently attend Castilleja the chance to experience Gatorbotics and encourage them to join as high schoolers. |
Street Code is an organization that offers robotics, computer science, and design classes to underserved students. Our team has mentored the Street Code FLL team in past years. |
