PURPLE HAZE

In loving memory of our mentor and friend

Riad Nassar
Our dear friend and mentor, Riad Nassar, passed away November 11, 2023. Not only has the LASA Robotics community and the greater Austin robotics community lost a mentor, but a FIRST/LASA Alumni and great friend. This program meant the world to Riad. Not because of the cool robots we built but because of how he saw countless LASA students, just like himself, build their skills and confidence through this program. Please share your pictures and memories of Riad on his memorial page:

Our Mission

We believe that the technical and social skills developed in competitive high school robotics directly translate to solving global issues in sustainability, health, and productivity. LASA Robotics strives to inspire innovation, integrity, and leadership in all people. In addition to exercising best practices of communication and collaboration within our talented team of young engineers, we nurture the self-confidence of students beyond the walls of our LASA workshop through mentor programs that break through barriers standing in the way of STEM education.
