Sporting competitions seem to be what we obsess over, frankly. So if we can put engineering, science, technology into a format of healthy, fun competition, we can attract all sorts of kids that might not see the kind of activity we do as accessible or rewarding.

The GEAR Alliance, a 501(c)(3) founded in 2015, supports K–12 robotics teams in Longmont, Colorado, competing in FIRST national competitions. Aligned with FIRST’s mission to inspire youth—especially minorities and women—to pursue STEM careers, GEAR fosters hard work, teamwork, and lasting mentor relationships. With mentors from the tech industry, GEAR emphasizes the national need for a diverse, educated workforce and actively reaches out to students who might not otherwise consider engineering.
Competitive robotics is the ultimate “sport of the mind,” combining the intensity of traditional sports with real-world engineering challenges. Students work long hours designing, building, wiring, and coding robots for demanding competitions. With limited time and resources, teamwork and strategic decision-making are essential. Drivers and field players train extensively, while strategy teams analyze opponents to gain an edge. Through this process, students develop critical workplace and technical skills.
