The Digi-Mind Codebotics program is a collaborative of Russell Management Resident Services, Inc. and STEAMsport, Inc. with the mission to expose and inspire youth from underexposed communities and serve as a conduit to possible employment in the science and technology fields.

 

Since 2010, the Digi-Mind Codebotics program has provided opportunities for children living on low income communities to learn and compete in robotics and coding competitions including First Lego League, SeaPerch, Rocketry, and Computer Coding. 

 

Our accomplishments include:

• Over 200 children from underexposed competing in robotics and coding competitions

• 2 top 3 finishes in the First Lego League district qualifier

• 3 appearances in the First Lego League Regional qualifier

• 2 top 10 finishes in the SeaPerch competition

• 1 upcoming appearance in the Black Data Processors Association High School Computer Coding Competition.

 

The program is implemented in accordance with Atlanta Public School’s (APS) calendar year. Practices are held during afterschool hours as well as on Saturday mornings at the John Hope Community Center, Rolling Bends and Edgewood Community Centers and APS schools.

 

 We are seeking dedicated students and volunteers that not only want to learn about science and technology, but also teach children the benefits and excitement of STEM related learning, but also want to make a difference in a child’s life.
