In case anyone is curious, this program is called FIRST Robotics Competition [0], and it is life-changing for the students who get to participate. (I'm an alum.)
I got my first job through FIRST and was so much better prepared to solve difficult problems through what I learned there.
You probably have a local team in your area. If you're interested, you should mentor! The students' excitement is contagious and its a fantastic experience.
