Mission and programs · 2022

Primary exempt purpose

The purpose of East Central Indiana Robotics (ECIR) is to train high school students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) subjects through the design, each year, of a competitive robot. Through mentor-guided, hands-on training, students gain technical skills, and along with teamwork, problem solving and communication experiences, they become better prepared for success in school and the workforce.

  • East Central Indiana Robotics uses its capital equipment portfolio and facility to train students in the skills they will need in the technology workforce. ECIR is a community based organization, drawing from local high schools and home school students. Each year about 15 mentors teach and train 30 to 35 students in their respective areas of expertise. Mentors are industry professionals, covering skills such as CAD, 3-d printing, CNC lathe and mill operation, welding, woodworking, electronics, programming, media design, photography, videography, web development, and marketing. Each January, our parent organization, FIRST Robotics, reveals a new game plan. Member robotics teams, like ECIR, have 2 months to design and build a competitive robot for district, state, and even world competitions. After competitions in the first quarter of the year, there are off-season competitions and opportunities for community service projects. The learning never stops, and students continue to build their skills, guided by mentors in preparation for the next year.
