Community Bots

The Community Bots provides training and equipment in STEM-robotics for young women and their teachers in underserved communities worldwide. Working with its partners, The Community Bots supplies academic and social-emotional support, so that aspiring engineers can pursue higher education and a career in STEM. Place a robot in a girl's hands and watch her eyes light up. It’s true for girls from underserved communities and affluent communities. Teachers see these young engineers’ creativity ignite. Jack Cooley and Ana Agón, STEM educators and The Community Bots founders, saw STEM and robotics transform learning for their NYC students, and they were determined to share this opportunity with girls worldwide. Now, girls in Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Spain, and the USA see they belong in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers because they are talented and can succeed. Sustaining our partners’ success is our next step.
