Placer Robotics is a nonprofit organization, also known as Placer Advanced Robotics and Technology (PART), dedicated to providing hands-on robotics experiences for students in grades 2–12 through camps, workshops, and competitive teams. PART promotes, encourages, and advances STEM education, outreach, and awareness for students in communities in and near Placer County, California, and provides opportunities for students in grades 4–12 to pursue competitive robotics and explore technology-related activities. Outreach programs include the RISE Program, Girl Powered Program, school visits and demos, and community STEM events, and the organization also runs Impact Robotics League Championships featuring 1-pound plastic antweight combat robots in three divisions with spectators welcome.
Camp Managers and Lead Instructors are college students and rising high school seniors who are former or current robotics team members, and group counselors are typically robotics high school team members or rising 8th graders, along with experienced summer camp volunteers and competition experts. Placer Robotics has been teaching classes and mentoring teams since 2015 and is an independent 501c3 nonprofit community organization. PART is a 7-time VEX Worlds and 8-time NRL Nationals Combat Robotics qualifier, and in 2022, PART 295 teams earned the Design Award at the California State VEX Robotics High School Championships and the Excellence and Robot Skills Awards at the California State VEX Robotics Middle School Championships.
