AI Summary

The program aims to increase student participation in robotics and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education by providing funding to public and charter schools to establish or support robotics teams and clubs. The grants are structured based on the type of school (elementary, middle, or high) and whether the school already has an existing robotics program.
