Looking to Volunteer?

The KISS Institute is a small-staffed, not-for-profit company and only successfully runs all of our events due to the continual support of extraordinary volunteers! Are you interested in joining the KIPR community as a volunteer? Every year we need volunteers to help run Junior Botball Challenge Days, Botball Regional Tournaments, and our annual Global Conference on Educational Robotics.
