FROM COMPETITION TO PRODUCTION.
Train serious builders in robotics and AI. We support competition roboticists, researchers, and startups pushing the boundaries of physical AI. From FIRST FTC to humanoid robots – build real systems, with real engineers, in a real lab.
WHAT WE ARE
RAISEBOX is a STEM deeptech education studio based in Oeiras, Portugal (Taguspark). We train roboticists and AI engineers aged 12 and up through world-class competition programs and hands-on lab access. We serve students, researchers, startups, and sponsors. Our principle is simple: technical excellence requires discipline, environment, and access.
THE CORE PROGRAMS
RAISEBOX operates two equal tracks. Competition Robotics and Physical AI run side-by-side, serving different builders pursuing the same standard of excellence.
COMPETITION ROBOTICS
FIRST FTC is our core focus. Our teams train year-round, competing in regional and national circuits. FTC provides real-world engineering challenges: designing mechanisms, writing autonomous code, optimizing performance under pressure.
PHYSICAL AI
Humanoid and quadruped robotics. Teams and individuals design and build robots that think, move, and adapt. This track focuses on AI integration, autonomous systems, and real-world applications.
BUILT FOR BUILDERS. FOR EVERYONE.
RAISEBOX serves a single mission: train excellent engineers. The path looks different depending on who you are.
Students (12+)
Build something real, compete at scale, and figure out if engineering is your future. Access professional equipment, mentors who have shipped real systems, and a community of builders.
Parents
