Celebrating Student Teams Who Build More Than Robots 

The WPI XRP Medal is a prestigious honor celebrating middle and high school robotics teams who embody the mission of WPI and the spirit of the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP). 

This award recognizes students who go beyond building robots to build opportunities for others, leverging the XRP—expanding access to STEM education, designing creative learning experiences, and serving as role models for inclusivity, creativity, and leadership. 

Created to keep the focus on XRP’s ultimate goal, the medal shines a spotlight on student teams who inspire greater recognition for science and technology while empowering today’s youth to become tomorrow’s leaders. 

Honoring Teams Who: 

• Expand access to robotics education in schools and communities. 
• Innovate with XRP by creating games, camps, challenges, or competitions. 
• Champion equity by engaging underrepresented groups in STEM. 
• Inspire others with passion, persistence, and impact that extends beyond their own team. 

The WPI XRP Medal celebrates students who understand that robotics is about more than machines—it’s about people, ideas, and opportunity. These teams are transforming the culture of STEM education and lighting the path for others to follow. 

Because the future isn’t just built, it’s inspired.
