Sparks of STEM
Our Mission
As beneficiaries of STEM education, we firmly believe that it can empower students of all ages and backgrounds to develop essential technical & problem-solving skills, bridge the gap in educational and career opportunities, and give them the confidence to tackle real-world issues.
By sharing our experiences with students throughout Oregon and showcasing the incredible possibilities within STEM, our goal is to inspire them to engage in STEM courses within their school curriculum or explore additional programs beyond the classroom.
Our Goal
Our mission is to visit 30 schools across Oregon. After we reach this goal, we will expand to develop multiple “STEM” hubs to create a longer lasting impact!

What is the Computer Science Implementation Plan?
Overcharged Robotics is advocating for the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and the Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC) Computer Science Implementation Plan.
This statewide implementation plan for computer science education is to ensure access to comprehensive computer science education opportunities to every public school student in Oregon by the 2027-2028 school year.
