Overview
Louisa Area Students Educational Robotics (LASER) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education to students, particularly in rural areas. Founded in June 2023, the organization aims to empower local youth with essential skills for pursuing technical degrees and vocations, bridging the gap in accessible STEM education in rural communities.
Mission
LASER's mission is to ensure that geographical location does not limit students' access to high-tech, STEAM-rich content. It advocates for making such opportunities affordable and accessible to students from diverse educational backgrounds, including public, private, co-op, and home schools.
Core Values
- Creativity: LASER encourages students to think creatively and guides them through the engineering process to bring their ideas to life.
- Collaboration: The organization teaches students the importance of teamwork and collaboration with peers who may have different perspectives.
- Resilience: LASER emphasizes the value of perseverance, teaching students not to give up when faced with challenges or setbacks.
Activities and Programs
LASER operates with multiple teams, currently involving students from fourth to eighth grade. The organization participates in competitive robotics events, such as the Virginia VEX Robotics State Championship, where teams like the Radioactive Robots have actively competed. Additionally, LASER is planning to expand its offerings, including the introduction of summer camps and further competitive teams.
Impact
The program has been praised for its ability to transform students into confident problem-solvers. Parents and community members view LASER as a vital resource for equipping young minds with the skills needed to tackle real-world challenges. The initiative is seen as a beacon for fostering future engineers, scientists, and leaders in the community.
