Testimonials

Before our presence in Orangeburg, local youth had limited access to STEM education. By founding the area's only FIRST Robotics team, we've opened doors for students like a high school freshman who discovered his passion for robotics in middle school. Through hands-on learning and mentorship, he's developed critical thinking, teamwork, and a drive for engineering. The Able Influence of SC continues to expand STEM access, shaping future innovators in Orangeburg County.
