Nebraska VEX IQ Robotics
Empowering Nebraska's future through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics education.
At gainingSTEAM, we spotlight the achievements of Nebraska students in robotics and STEM, while honoring the educators, mentors, and families who support them.
Together, we're building the future of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math in our state.
With every competition, project, and program, we're inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders.
We're proud to support Nebraska's robotics community. Our programs help make tournaments possible and provide teams with the resources and training they need to succeed.
Your donation makes robotics competitions possible across Nebraska. Every contribution helps us provide tournament equipment, support coaches, and create memorable experiences for students discovering their STEAM potential.
This year we're supporting 10+ tournaments and 500+ students across Nebraska. Join us in making STEAM education accessible to every student who dreams of building the future.
