Peninsula STEM Gym

Founded by Intentional Innovation Foundation, the Peninsula STEM Gym is a place for student robotics teams to develop competition robots and have real-world engineering experiences that will inspire a lifelong interest in science and math.

The Peninsula STEM Gym features:

  • 75% FRC practice field
  • Complete official FIRST Tech Challenge field sponsored by Newport News Shipbuilding
  • Meeting space for 20

By enabling our students to better practice their sport in our Gym, we increase the likelihood that they can “turn pro” upon graduation.
