Research · RAIR
Robotics, A.I., and research across space, energy, biotech, and industry partnerships
Hosted by Kids Robotic Foundation and Saint Thomas' Episcopal and Kids Robotic Academy
Research here is not one single day. It is the Foundation umbrella for Robotics, A.I. and Research (RAIR) work with Saint Thomas' Episcopal Upper School and Kids Robotic Academy: space education, energy inspection robotics, biotech and neuro-tech exploration, and industry-facing demos.
Students present at conferences, build prototype systems, partner with companies like NeuroMaker, and carry research habits into competitions and community festivals. The chapters below capture the materials we have so far. More context will land as you send it.
Season highlights
- STE RAIR Club: Robotics, A.I. and Research
- BioGesture bionic hand research for safer energy inspection
- NeuroMaker Hand Kit collaboration with younger campers

Research chapters
Multiple projects under one research roof
BioGesture, NeuroMaker collaboration, STE RAIR Club, and related showcases. More context can drop in as you send it.
BioGesture
Innovative robotics research with a bionic hand and flex sensors for safer inspection in oil, gas, and energy industries. Prepared by STE students and sponsored by Kids Robotic Foundation.
- Team: Saqib, Aaryan, Gabriella, Imaad, Shazil
- Gesture-controlled glove with flex sensors and IMU
- Servo-driven robotic hand for hazardous inspection concepts
- Field learning at SGS training laboratory in Deer Park
- Call for mentors and research sponsors
NeuroMaker EdTech Collaboration
High schoolers completed the NeuroMaker Hand Kit and demonstrated it to younger summer campers, with thanks to Alex and the NeuroMaker team for hands-on learning support.
- NeuroMaker Hand Kit completed by high school students
- Demo day for younger campers
- Partnership between Kids Robotic Academy and NeuroMaker
STE RAIR Club
Saint Thomas' Episcopal Upper School Robotics, A.I. and Research Club, presented with Kids Robotic Foundation support. Multi-year work spans space, drones, underwater robotics, FTC, and industry internships.
