lasarobotics.org City of Austin and our need for a Robotics & STEM Park

lasarobotics.org Agenda Robotics and STEM correlation Austin Robotics Growth Robotics Park/STEM Center Needs & Vision Katy, TX’s STEM Center – an example Robotics Park/STEM Center Estimate Next Steps

lasarobotics.org FIRST Robotics Alumni Are More Likely to Attend College and Study Engineering or Science Source: 2005 independent study by Brandeis University, funded by the Ford Foundation of FRC alumni who graduated

lasarobotics.org FIRST Robotics Accelerates and Promotes STEM Workforce Growth Source: 2005 independent study by Brandeis University, funded by the Ford Foundation of FRC alumni who graduated

lasarobotics.org Central Texas Continues to Robotics Team Growth 180+ FLL Teams 50+ FTC Teams 10 FRC Teams 3 Austin FRC Teams competed at the 2014 World Championships in St. Louis 418: LASA Robotics 2158: AusTIN CANS 2468: Chaps Robotics Numbers to be confirmed by Central TX FIRST

lasarobotics.org Why a Robotics and STEM Park for Austin Space for STEM Bridge between students, citizens, mentors and businesses Non-sports activity for youth to find like minded peers and mentors Encourage excitement, passion and pursuit for excellence in STEM Inspire, stimulate and challenge students Share and collaborate ideas for inquisitive minds Solve problems and engineer solutions Join citizens, mentors and students in STEM pursuits Proposal Overview Robotics and STEM park Celebrate, Learn, demo, apply STEM with peers and mentor guided activities Support Robotics programs including FIRST, BEST & VEX Shop space, storage space, classroom space and retail/gathering space The NeedThe Vision

lasarobotics.org Others are Already doing this Katy ISD’s STEM Center with target completion Jan’15 $6.2M 26K Square Feet Shop space for 8 FRC teams + expansion High ceiling space for Robotics field

lasarobotics.org Robotics and STEM Park Draft Estimates Space -Shop space 9K -Team Storage Space 4K -Flexible Robotics/Field space 9K -Administrative/Class/other 7K -Loading dock 1K -Parking $7-9M Equipment fit up -Machinery $54K -Hand Power Tools $1K -Hand Tools $2K -Electronics tools $1K -Tool Attachments $20K -Misc $3K -Maintenance $4K -STEM equipment 50K $135K Robotics Field Infrastructure FRC field $130K BEST/VEX field $5K Bleachers $15K $150K Staff Director Administrator Shop floor staff, other $250K/ year Operational costs - Electric/maintenance, Janitorial, IT. Marketing etc $200K/year

lasarobotics.org Next Steps Obtain funding to pursue Interior concepts, mockups, renderings Obtain funding to work with grant strategist Work to refine estimate Work with Skillpoint Alliance, to recruit/present concept to Austin Area companies and local government (City/County/State) to gain support & additional funding Lobby new incoming city council about importance of and support for STEM Inform and persuade Austin citizens for support using social media, print, etc Get public input for requirements/goals of this space Work for private/public partnership to make this a reality
