🤖 Robotics Initiative

Purdue CS Outreach’s Robotics Initiative brings computer science to life through hands-on robotics kits, classroom-ready lessons, and Purdue-powered mentorship. Whether you’re a teacher looking for ready-to-use materials, a robotics team in search of support, or a Purdue student eager to give back—we’re here to help you build, code, and create.

We believe robotics is more than just machines. It’s about curiosity. It’s about confidence. And it’s about giving every student the chance to solve problems, work as a team, and see themselves as a creator of the future.
