Community Engagement 

2024 National Advocacy Conference: Join the Student Association for STEM Advocacy in Washington, D.C., this summer for the 11th annual National Advocacy Conference. For over a decade, robotics teams have been advocating together in D.C., and now’s your chance to join us. Students will learn how to talk to members of Congress through interactive, fun, and targeted training on June 23 and 24, and network with other teams from across the country. Then, teams will attend the meetings they've scheduled on June 25 to build meaningful, lasting relationships with members of Congress. Your team will promote robotics and STEM education on behalf of every student in America. Join this once-in-a-lifetime experience that encourages participants to learn about advocacy, meet other students committed to change, and make a national impact.

Registration is now open! Questions, more information, and registration available at mysasa.org/nac or email staff@mysasa.org.
