Empowering Neurodivergent Students Through Free Tutoring And Robotics

Founded 2023 • Non-Profit Organization • Serving Albany, CA.

About
our program

For the past three years, our robotics program has been dedicated to helping neurodivergent or disadvantaged children learn. This program offers regular breaks and one on one teaching to produce the best learning environment. Not only do we provide teaching services, but we also facilitate high school participants aged 13-19, giving them valuable teaching experiences and volunteer hours. Starting in 2025, S.T.A.R is establishing its free tutoring service to elementary and middle school students, taught by high school tutors.

Why S.T.A.R Matters

S.T.A.R. provides free, specialized tutoring and education to neurodivergent children. This is crucial because neurodivergent students (including those with Autism, ADHD, or Dyslexia) often require flexible teaching methods, structured environments, and individualized attention to truly master concepts. By making these services free, S.T.A.R. removes economic barriers to specialized support, directly promoting educational equity. The emphasis on robotics is transformative. Robotics and coding are systematic, rule-based disciplines that align perfectly with the cognitive strengths of many neurodivergent individuals (e.g., exceptional pattern recognition, intense focus, and logical thinking). The organization provides structured opportunities for high schoolers to serve the community as mentors. This experience is invaluable for developing leadership skills, patience, and empathy, challenging them to adapt their communication styles to effectively teach a neurodivergent population. This cultivates a more compassionate and responsible next generation of community leaders.
