ARISE is a comprehensive robotics education platform that takes students from CAD design to visual programming to simulation in a virtual environment and augmented reality — all in one place.
ARISE started with the Scarborough STEM Alliance (SSA), a non-profit that hosted over 100 workshops globally, impacting 1,000+ youth with free hands-on STEM and robotics education. We discovered that a single workshop isn't enough — robotics is an iterative process where you learn by doing and failing hundreds of times. Physical robotics kits (like LEGO Spike Prime) cost $500–$1,000, creating a massive barrier for students and schools in low-income areas.
ARISE is the solution. A platform where drag-and-drop simplicity meets professional-grade simulation, making robotics education accessible to everyone.
