The bill establishes a grant program aimed at supporting high school robotics teams in Minnesota. It mandates the commissioner of education to create a competitive grant program for school districts and charter schools, allowing them to apply for funding to cover operational costs, stipends for coaches, and expenses related to robotics competitions. The bill outlines the eligibility criteria for applicants, the allowable uses of grant funds, and the requirement for grant applications to include a budget and planned uses of the funds.

Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to submit a report to legislative committees detailing the grant recipients and their planned activities. Each grant recipient is also obligated to report back on the outcomes of their funded activities, specifically how the robotics program contributes to the college and career readiness of participants. The bill includes appropriations from the general fund to support these grants for designated fiscal years.
