STEM BRIDGE CENTER
BUILD THE FUTURE, TOGETHER.
A student-led hub
for FIRST® Robotics and STEM innovation.
What We Stand for
Ecosystem Connector
A vibrant hub for the FIRST® and STEM communities to collaborate, share, and grow.
Student-Led Empowerment
An incubator "by students, for students," where young leaders build their community and shape their own future.
Mentorship & Pathways
A dedicated mentorship network connecting peers and professionals to guide students on their learning and career pathways.
Purposeful Innovation
The home of "Future Solvers," where we encourage, support and guide students in using technology to tackle real-world challenges.
The STEM Bridge Center (SBC) is the community’s answer to the critical challenges of resources, guidance, and sustainability faced by local robotics teams. We serve as 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.
At the same time, SBC also places a strong emphasis on supporting underserved, under-resourced, and under-represented students, working intentionally to remove barriers and ensure that STEM education is accessible to everyone, regardless of background or circumstance.
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.
