We are honored to be a part of this special day that combines the love of STEM and robotics with a legacy living on through the growth of these departments in local schools and programs. Thank you for your support of our program!

We have no doubt that our robotics kids will go on to do great things, and YSU and their robotics program may be a stepping stone on that path. We can't wait to see them at the Jen + Tonic Memorial Polo Event!

🚀 Get ready to explore the future of STEM with Youngstown State University! 🤖🌊

We’re excited to welcome the Youngstown State University College of STEM as a first-time Jen + Tonic participant!

At YSU, inspiring the next generation of engineers and scientists is what they do best. Students have access to hands-on experiences that bring STEM to life — from designing and building innovative technology to tackling real-world challenges.

The YSU Robotics team has:
🚀 Built robots designed for space exploration
⚔️ Competed on the national stage in Combat Robotics
🌊 Designed and built a remotely operated underwater robot for MATE ROV competition

Come meet the team, explore STEM opportunities, and discover how you can turn your curiosity into innovation at YSU! For tickets and more information: visit https://givebutter.com/jen-tonic-polo-event-2026
