Changing the face of STEM, One student at a time

At UTR, we win big.

We are proud of the impact we’ve made in STEM education. Our mission is to break barriers and create opportunities for students worldwide. Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:

  • 🤖 Official VEX Robotics Partner, $5k grant - distributing brand new parts among local teams
    💰 $50,000+ in Robotics Parts Donated – Providing essential components to students and teams in need.

  • 🌍 Impact Across 10 Countries & 3 Continents – Expanding access to STEM education globally.

  • 📚 $5,000+ in Free Resources, Webinars & Workshops – Offering high-quality learning opportunities at no cost.

  • 🤝 50+ Dedicated Contributors – A passionate team driving innovation and mentorship.

  • 🎓 Empowering Students Through Lessons & Mentorship – Helping students develop skills for careers in engineering and technology.

  • At Up the Ratios, we believe that financial barriers shouldn't stand in the way of innovation. That's why we've donated over $50,000 worth of robotics parts—including VEX Robotics, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and LEGO Mindstorms components—to students and teams in need. By repurposing unused or extra STEM equipment, we not only reduce electronic waste but also bridge the accessibility gap in engineering education.

    Every donation helps a student build, program, and compete, bringing them one step closer to becoming the next generation of innovators, engineers, and problem-solvers.
