The KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) is a small, not-for-profit organization that relies on the incredible dedication of volunteers to make our events a success. Are you interested in becoming part of the KIPR community as a volunteer?
Each year, we seek passionate individuals to help us run Junior Botball Challenge Days, Botball Regional Tournaments, and our flagship event—the Global Conference on Educational Robotics.
Join us in supporting STEM education and inspiring the next generation of innovators!
