The MassRobotics Jumpstart Fellowship Program provides opportunities for high school girls in Massachusetts to learn about careers in robotics. The program, which originated in Boston in 2021, expanded to UMass Lowell in 2024 with support from the Massachusetts Tech Collaborative.

UMass Lowell is now listed as a Carnegie Research 1 (R1) university, a prestigious designation used to identify the nation’s top research institutions.

RoboXploration, a robotics camp for middle school students, launched this summer at the NERVE Center.

A team led by robotics expert Holly Yanco wants to improve robot manipulation by developing a standardized ecosystem that harnesses the power of publicly available research.
