The University of Georgia and local nonprofit Chess & Community have launched a new partnership that uses robotics to enhance STEM education opportunities for Clarke County students.
Over the next three years, the university will provide financial assistance and on-campus space to support Pawn Accelerator — a community-centered robotics and chess program that educates students about the foundations of the technology. The goal is to enhance skills students will need for future careers in STEM fields, including literacy in robotics and engineering.
The program includes opportunities for middle and high schoolers, including building and coding robots for competitions, learning about 3D printing and drone technology, and participating in a week-long summer residential program.
