About TerraEd

Terra ED is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to bringing STEM classes to local communities. Starting with our flagship Robotics program, Terra ED currently offers STEM enrichment through various workshops and camps. Founded in San Jose, California.
Our story began with the gathering of driven students passionate for robotics and STEM. Experiencing real world engineering problems and implementing industrial methods, our team thrived as we competed in various competitions including the FIRST suite of programs. With the goal of bringing rich STEM knowledge to our communities, we joined this ecosystem to provide professional instruction of various topics. With over 10 years of competitive robotics experience our team has since doubled, promoting the formation of TerraED.
