**GIFT: Girls in Future Technologies**

A Keystone STEM Alliance Initiative in Collaboration with WomenTech Network.

**Sponsor a Girl. Inspire a Future in Technology.**

Every girl deserves the opportunity to explore technology, develop confidence, and discover her potential as a future innovator.

The **GIFT (Girls in Future Technologies)** campaign, led by [Keystone STEM Alliance](https://keystonestemai.org/) in collaboration with WomenTech Network, aims to expand access to hands-on STEM education, robotics, engineering, coding, and emerging technologies.

Through BLAST Robotics and STEM2Ignite, we are creating meaningful opportunities for girls to learn from mentors, work on real engineering challenges, and develop technical and leadership skills.

Alternatively you can also open doors for corporate sponsorships, education grants or matching grants. Connect with our Program Director at hello@keystonestemai.org

A **$365 donation sponsors one girl's annual robotics membership**, helping remove financial barriers to participation. Keystone STEM Alliance and its supporters subsidize additional program expenses, ensuring that students can access valuable learning experiences regardless of financial circumstances.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

By connecting Keystone STEM Alliance's hands-on STEM programs with WomenTech Network's community of technology professionals and advocates, GIFT seeks to inspire more girls to pursue opportunities in engineering and technology.

**Join the GIFT movement. Sponsor a girl. Help shape the next generation of women in technology.** *Ignite. Inspire. Impact.*

Sponsor a Girl. Inspire a Future in Technology (GIFT)

To Ignite, Inspire, and Impact by empowering youth through hands‑on Robotics, STEM Pathways and workforce development programs.

To educate, empower, and inspire Gen Z and Gen Alpha students by providing hands-on STEM experiences, leadership opportunities, and career-oriented skill development. Through robotics, innovation challenges, and community engagement, we prepare young minds to become ethical leaders, creative problem-solvers, and changemakers in a rapidly evolving world. 

To create a sustainable ecosystem of STEM learning and leadership where every student has access to the tools, mentorship, and opportunities needed to thrive. Keystone STEM Robotics envisions a future where youth innovation drives technological progress, community resilience, and global impact—shaping a world that is inclusive, innovative, and sustainable. 

**KSA Offers three programs:** 

**BLAST Robotics Program (FIRST Robotics Competition Team):** is often called he *“Varsity Sport for the Mind.”* Students design, build, and program a 120-pound industrial-grade robot to compete in high-energy regional and national tournaments. Our **Blast Robotics Team 10989** brings together high school students from across the Greater Philadelphia Region to collaborate, innovate, and apply real-world engineering principles. FRC teaches more than robotics — it builds confidence, integrity, and the mindset to solve real-world challenges.

**Venturing Crew Program Partnered with Scouting America:** An innovative youth development program integrating the Venturing model with a specialized focus on robotics and STEM. Participants gain hands-on experience in robotics, engineering, coding, teamwork, leadership, and community service while developing technical and life skills. 

**Robotics Summer Camp:** An immersive, hands-on STEM program where students design, build, program, and test robots while learning engineering fundamentals, CAD modeling, coding, design thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving, culminating in a team-based robotics challenge.

**Key partnerships / collaborators:** 

**Scouting America, Venturing Crew 181**:  An affiliated organization supporting its Venturing Crew and robotics programming.  

**FIRSTxMIT**: BLAST Robotics **officially initiated a partnership with FIRSTxMIT** focused on long-term STEM capacity building, mentorship development, and sustainable program growth. 

**EADEH Enterprises**: Provided an **in-kind workspace and mentorship**, enabling BLAST Robotics to have a dedicated build facility.  

**Penn State Great Valley**: Providing access to facilities and expertise when additional fabrication or machining capability is required.  

**Delaware County Community College (DCCC)**: Providing access to facilities and expertise, dual enrollment, pre-apprenticeships, a shared Fab Lab/training center, instructors, and workforce pathways. 

**Industry mentor/support network**: Mentors were secured from **Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division, Lockheed Martin, Comcast, and Maersk**.
