This bill proposes the establishment of a grant program to fund high school robotics teams in Minnesota. Administered by the commissioner of education, the program would provide competitive grants to school districts and charter schools to support both new and existing robotics programs. Grant funds may be used for operational costs, stipends for coaches, event registration fees, materials, travel, and other competition-related expenses.

The bill also requires a reporting process: the commissioner of education must submit a report to legislative committees summarizing grant recipients and their planned activities, while grant recipients must report on the outcomes of their funded activities, particularly in relation to college and career readiness.

Finally, the bill appropriates funds from the general fund to support these grants for specified fiscal years.
