Located in East Orlando, Florida, MECO (pronounced MEE-koh) is focused on developing students’ problem solving skills, expanding STEM capabilities, collaborating with others and expanding interest in robotics while teaching practical skills.
Our team designs, assembles and creates robots for the FIRST Robotics Competition, improving on previous designs and engaging students by having them build, design and assemble the robot based on specific game challenges created by FIRST. The competition season is January-March, although we meet year-round for training, outreach, and teambuilding.
MECO Robotics empowers underserved students in East Orlando by providing a safe, equitable, and engaging environment where they can explore robotics while creating lasting relationships. We are dedicated to nurturing curiosity, resilience, confidence, collaboration, and enabling students to experience growth through both their successes and challenges. We launch future leaders who excel personally and make a positive impact in their communities.
