IRIS is an organization that gives students the opportunity to design and create innovative robots for the NASA Lunabotics Engineering Competition. We are also very involved with the community, reaching out to local schools to encourage STEM for the younger generation. This unique experience is rewarding for both our members and the students they mentor.
