These events draw dozens of colleges and employers, including major corporations representing Greater Boston’s leading industries.

STEM @ The BASE
For youth ages 6-12, our Career Development program is centered around an introduction to STEM learning and careers in STEM fields, including robotics, coding, life sciences, an more.
Provided in partnership with the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, the BASE Robotics program is an excellent introduction to engineering, robotics, and coding. With small classes and hands-on instruction, we create designs from scratch and solve coding tasks with interactive software and tools.
Using the LEGO Learning system, students use stackable LEGO bricks, simple coding progression, and intelligent hardware to design, build, and program small-scale robots.
Along with LEGO Robotics, we work with iRobot Education to implement their robotics/coding curriculum and have 3D printing machines for student use.
