We  are  Northwest  Florida  Robot  Spot, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) organization  where  local  middle-  and  high-school  aged  home  schoolers meet  to  learn  about  STEM,  marketing,  public  speaking,  graphic  design,  teamwork,  technical  writing, all  while  being  tasked  with  a  real-world  problem  that  needs  an  inventive  solution.   Organized  and encouraged  by  their  coach  and  mentors,  the  club  is  entirely  student-led.   They  create  a  fictitious company  from  the  ground  up  including  leadership  roles,  website  design,  logo  design,  t-shirt design,  and  of  course  the  design,  engineering,  and  building  of  their  machine  that  will  be  marketed as  the  best  machine  to  buy  in  order  to  solve  the  problem  at  hand.   Supported  by  our  hub,  Emerald Coast BEST, our team competes in the fall along with many other area public and private schools.
