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, coach stipends, and expenses related to robotics competitions. The bill outlines the eligibility criteria for applicants, the allowable uses of grant funds, and the administration process for awarding grants, which includes the requirement for a program budget as part of the application.

Additionally, the bill requires the commissioner to submit a report to legislative committees detailing the grant recipients and their planned activities, as well as a requirement for each grant recipient to report on the outcomes of their funded activities, particularly in relation to enhancing college and career readiness. The bill also includes appropriations from the general fund to support these grants for designated fiscal years.
