Our Impact
“XBOT was one of the best parts about high school for me. It gave me a space to meet amazing people (including other girls pursuing similar fields), practice what I enjoyed doing, learn things I would have never learned at school, and simply be myself.”

“The experience I gained prepared me for college & industry programming. XBOT’s industry connections landed me a meeting with the CEO of Amazon and a robotics coaching job senior year. The skills I learned greatly strengthened my resume for college admissions and job applications. Much of my success and interest in STEM can be attributed to XBOT.”
Winston Bullen
“XBOT made me a better leader. It taught me to take a step back sometimes and make sure that everyone is included. It can be hard but I think it’s required when you want to lead people.”

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
XBOT Robotics is an equal opportunity employer and committed to an environment free of discrimination. We conduct and offer our programs, services and activities to students who live in the underserved neighborhoods of the South Seattle area of King County.
We recognize that systemic inequity is built into public education, and there is inequitable access to high-quality after-school programming. Our goal is to continuously expand access to inspiring, high-quality STEM experiences that recognize the unique identities and brilliance of every student.
XBOT Robotics is committed to open participation with our students, adult staff and volunteers without regard to race, color, ancestry, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, age, national origin, physical or mental disability (actual or perceived), medical condition, pregnancy (including childbirth or related medical conditions), veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance. XBOT Robotics makes every effort to accommodate individuals in need and to remove barriers in order to allow them to participate fully in our offerings.
XBOT Robotics embraces an environment where diversity, equity and inclusion are our strengths. We continue to explore and develop strategies to create a more inclusive environment where all are welcome.
