STEM Quest, founded by team member Santiago Felix-Padilla in 2022, is a community service program that offers low income andagricultural children in our community the opportunity to explore science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through robotics. Since 2024, Team 19442 has actively participated byleading bi-weekly classes focused on robotics and science education.

 

The program aims to break down racial and social barriers by providing equal opportunities for all participants, fostering inclusivity and diversity. Through collaborative projects and shared learning, STEM Quest promotes mutual respect, teamwork, and camaraderie among children from various backgrounds. Students gain confidence in their abilities, develop leadership skills, and build a strong foundation in STEM disciplines. They learn to work as part of a team, make collaborative decisions, and adapt to new challenges—skills that are invaluable in any career.
