Teachers report stronger STEM skills among Mexican students
Fundación RobotiX surveyed 3,615 teachers in Mexico about its education programs during the 2025-26 school year.

Some 93.4% of teachers saw stronger STEM understanding, while 92.9% reported progress in skills such as empathy, resilience and teamwork.
Nearly 98% of students showed more interest in science, according to the survey.
RobotiX said its programs directly reached 118,143 students at 1,868 schools and community centres, including girls, Indigenous students and students with disabilities.
Students used technology to tackle local problems, including building a low-cost home automation system in Mexico City and a sensor-equipped smart cane in Ciudad Juárez.
