CORI
The Center of Robotics Innovation (CORI) is a program of the PAST Foundation and is made up of individuals in the central Ohio area focused on enhancing skill-based learning of robotics, to support Ohio’s need for skilled problem solvers and engineers and ultimately benefit technology job development in Ohio. Through a growing partnership of schools, teams, businesses and philanthropic organization, we use FIRST Robotics to inspire students to explore science, technology, engineering and math in college and their professions.
We encourage local universities and businesses to engage directly with students by providing mentors for their projects, thereby increasing the likelihood that students will attend those universities and work in those businesses in the future.
