Robotics has been shown to increase interest in STEM studies and careers among middle and high school students. A recent study (Hendricks et. al, 2012) of students participating in VEX Robotics competitions reported over 75% of the students were more interested in taking additional math and science classes in high school or college and 87% were more interested in pursuing a STEM-related career.

Baltimore City Schools has created a VEX program to help schools get VEX teams started. Johns Hopkins Center for Educational Outreach has teamed up with City Schools to provide a season-culminating league championship.
