Downingtown Area Robotics is a group of Students, Mentors and Sponsors, that knows it's important to get students interested in '''STEM''' ('''S'''cience, '''T'''echnology, '''E'''ngineering and '''M'''athematics) based careers.  We do this through competition robotics.  Our robots work in teams of two or three, working together as team on a common goal (not the robots that try to destroy each other.)

Driving the robots in Competitions is a small part of what we do.  From the beginning we teach each roboteer valuable life skills like communications, planning, getting a group consensus, cooperation and negotiations.  We also bring to life STEM skills in areas of electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, programming by planning, designing, building (and sometimes rebuilding), testing and driving our robots.
