Google.org's $10 million in grant funding will help youth robotics nonprofits FIRST and the RECF expand access to robotics programs and incorporate new technology like AI into their curricula.
Google was created by two young people exploring the possibilities of the internet, the most advanced technology of their time. As we celebrate Google's 25th birthday, it's important that we support the next generation of curious minds and give back to the communities Google calls home.
Google.org is providing a total of $10 million in grants to For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) and the REC Foundation (RECF) to help 300,000 U.S. middle schoolers participate in robotics programs. These programs will introduce students to the latest technology, like AI, and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow.
