STEM FACTS

FACT #1: The growth in STEM jobs has been three times greater than that of non-STEM jobs over the last 10 years. And throughout the next decade, STEM occupations are projected to grow by 17 percent, compared to 9.8-percent growth for other occupations. (Source: U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Summer 2011)

FACT #2: In comparison to their non-STEM counterparts, STEM workers earn 26 percent more on average and are less likely to experience joblessness. (Source: U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Summer 2011)

FACT #3: The U.S. faces a shortfall of 3 million college-educated workers by 2018.(Source: Change the Equation, STEM Vital Signs report, 2011)

FACT #4: Only 7.5 percent of college students enter baccalaureate programs in STEM fields such as engineering, and only 50 percent of those graduate. (Source: Aerospace States Association)

FACT #5: The United States faces a shortage of 283,000 secondary science and math teachers by 2015. (Source: American Competitiveness Initiative)

FACT # 6: Only 36 percent of all 18- to 24-year-olds are actually enrolled in post-secondary education. (Source: Change the Equation STEM Vital Signs report)

FACT #7: The number of engineering degrees awarded in the US is down 20 percent from the peak year of 1985 (Source: Tapping America's Potential)

FACT #8: More than 40 percent of US doctoral candidates in engineering, math and computer science are foreign nationals. (Source: A Commitment to America's Future: Responding to a Crisis in Math and Science, January 2005)

American students rank 17th in the world in science.
American students rank 25th in the world in math.
Most new jobs in the 21st century will require Math & Science skills.

Working together we can solve this problem. CyberKids Robotics uses robots and robotics education to improve the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skills of students. Many schools across North Carolina want robotics education programs for their students but do not have the funding needed to implement these programs.

You can “Adopt a Robot” and partner with CyberKids Robotics to put robots in the hands of our students and help them learn the skills they will need to be competitive in the 21st century. Please review the adoption options on the following pages and contact CyberKids Robotics at [email protected] to begin the adoption process.

Your adoption will provide a 10 hour Robotics Summer Camp for a team of eight to twelve students in grades 4 through 12. CyberKids Robotics will send you a digital picture of your robotics team and robot at the end of their summer camp. At the end of the summer camp session, you will be invited to attend a robotics exhibition to see first-hand the impact your “robot adoption” has had on the students. You can select the specific school you want to sponsor or designate the school system where you want your robot placed.

Adopt a Robot for Competition $425.00 per Robot

Your adoption will provide an existing Robotics Competition Team with the opportunity to compete in local, state and national robotics competitions. CyberKids Robotics will send you a digital picture of the robotics team you are sending to competition. You will receive e-mail updates on the success of your adopted robot after each robotics competition.

Adopt a Robot for One Student $295.00 per Robot

Your adoption will provide a Robotics Summer Camp, a full school year of Robotics Instruction, and at least two Robotics Competitions for ONE student in grades 4 through 12. CyberKids Robotics will e-mail you a monthly status report so you can keep up with the progress and accomplishments of the robot you adopted.
