Neaera Robotics is a nonprofit 501(c)3 company created to provide middle and high school kids hands-on training and education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Our goal is to empower the youth of Colorado to learn, create and share the knowledge that they have gained. We aim to guide and mentor youth through real life business interactions with businesses from the community. We encourage an environment that allows kids to work with other students, adult mentors, professionals and parents, plus support and give back to their community.
Neaera Robotics offers any student from any school, location, financial status a safe environment to learn, discover and design new technologies, machine the next invention and program anything that they can come up with! We encourage this discovery through the development of robotics. Neaera Robotics works with local businesses to supply the program with tools, supplies and cutting-edge technology to support the youth with their ideas.
VISION
Neaera Robotics is a nonprofit company working with middle school and high school aged children developing in the fields of science technology, engineering and mathematics through the interest of building robots. We aim to also guide and mentor youth with real life business interactions with entrepreneurs in the community. Our main focus is to work with a group of students to develop an understanding of engineering through developing robots that have practical use.
MISSION
- the development and operation of an after school educational robotic club
- to enlighten, guide and educate youths in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to provide access to and reduce costs for youths seeking to engage in hands on learning
- to provide instruction and mentoring in managing a team, learning how to fundraise and work with local businesses
- to directly engage in and to provide facilities for others to engage in the promotion of robotics, engineering, programming, software design and team events
Problems
Schools can only teach so much. Neaera Robotics allows the student to learn many different Technolgies but using a hands-on approach and design/build using today's technology. Having mentors that are experts in the fields of engineering, computer science and business leaders, we aim to help facilitate ideas and make them a reality.
A few other hurdles is:
- Space: having enough space for the students that are interested in this program.
- Mentors: being able to have enough help from experts in the fields of STEM
- Funding: Costs for having students build robots like metal, motors, electronics, and travel to events.

We need your help!
Neaera Robotics is preparing for a new space, a Center Of Excellence. We are excited to announce the development of a 12,000 sqft. Robotics Workspace. This journey will take some time but we are excited to have this amazing space for students to have fun through robotics.
