BUILD THE FUTURE, TOGETHER.
A Student-led Community Center
for FIRST® Robotics Programs & STEM.
All teams and groups have equal access to SBC resources, and the community works together to build and strengthen our shared ecosystem.
The STEM Bridge Center (SBC) is the community’s answer to the critical challenges of resources, guidance, and sustainability that face local robotics teams. We are the central hub for the FIRST® and STEM ecosystem in Bellevue and beyond—a dedicated home where students, mentors, and the community come together to collaborate, innovate, and grow.​
​​​
More than just a facility, we are a launchpad.
Our unique "by students, for students" philosophy is our foundation. We believe that by giving young people the agency to lead their own community, they don’t just participate in STEM—they drive it. This is where the proven project-based learning model of FIRST® is amplified by a multi-generational mentorship network, creating an environment ripe for discovery.
​​​​
More Than Just Robots.
We cultivate future-ready leaders, distinguished not by their technical skills alone, but by their collaborative spirit, profound social responsibility, and unwavering drive to build a better world. This is our replicable model for what modern STEM education can and should be.​
