11 Dec. 2025 Rotary In-Person Evening Dec. 11, 2025 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The speaker, Sophie Hintzen, will present on how bioethics shapes the way we approach innovation, responsibility, and humanity’s future. Bioethics is the study of ethical issues emerging from advances in biology, medicine, and technology. It can be found at the intersection of science, philosophy, law, and human values—helping guide us through complex questions. As science progresses faster than ever, bioethics helps us to ensure that human dignity, rights, and justice remain at the center of decision-making. It’s not just a concern for doctors and scientists—it affects patients, families, policymakers, and communities. Details and Zoom link will be sent to Members and those on our mailing list.

Since our founding, we've grown from 1 FTC team and 1 FLL team serving 30 students to 4 FTC teams and 30+ FLL teams reaching over 2,700 students. We host large-scale community events including FTC Qualifiers (1,000+ participants), FLL Scrimmages (15+ teams), and an annual FLL Explore Festival (30+ teams). Our summer camp partnerships with Penguin Coding School and RoboHub have engaged 250+ students. Through partnerships with the Brookline Teen Center, Brookline High School, and generous sponsors, we've raised over $21,000 this season to provide free robotics programs, camps, and workshops.
