Unified Robotics: Facilitating Inclusion Through Innovation
In this session, from the 2025 VEX Robotics Educators Conference, we explore the development and impact of Unified Robotics, an inclusive STEM initiative co-led by Andrew Fee, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Special Olympics Pennsylvania, and Dr. Eddie Willson, Assistant to the Superintendent for Woodland Hills School District.
Designed to foster collaboration between students with and without intellectual disabilities, Unified Robotics merges robotics education with social inclusion, promoting authentic teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership. Watch this video to see the presenters share practical insights from implementing the program in schools, highlight student success stories, and offer guidance for educators looking to launch similar initiatives that advance equity and engagement in STEM learning.
