Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators
Our hands-on STEM programs help youth explore robotics, engineering, design, and technology in a fun, supportive environment connected to the Abbotsford International Airshow.
Our STEM Mission
We ignite a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math through engaging, hands-on learning that builds creativity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving skills.
Hands-On Learning
Students learn by building, testing, and refining real projects — not just listening to lectures or watching demos.
Proven Programs
Formerly known as GearBots, our programs have supported thousands of young makers and problem-solvers over more than a decade.
Community Impact
Now under the Abbotsford International Airshow, we’re expanding access to quality STEM education across the Fraser Valley and beyond.
