AI Summary
This bill establishes an elementary and secondary school robotics grant program in the Massachusetts Department of Education. The grants will be used to help students succeed academically and prepare for careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and robotics fields. The program will prioritize funding for schools without existing robotics programs, especially those located in certain counties. Applicants must commit to running a team registered with organizations like FIRST Robotics Competition or VEX Robotics Competition. The commissioner will annually evaluate the programs and provide technical assistance to districts seeking to replicate the funded programs.
