Once upon a time, in the fabulous state of Tennessee, halfway between the effervescent energy of Music City, Nashville, and the delightful charm of the River City, Memphis, there lived a bunch of super intelligent, book-loving kids. They were not ordinary kids, oh no! They possessed a special power. Every time they opened a book and started to read, they were transformed into brainy bookworms, traveling through the mystical tunnels of knowledge and imagination. The leader of this magical gang was none other than the wacky and witty, Wilbur the Word Wizard. Wilbur, with his rainbow-colored beard and glasses as round as the moon, would guide the kids on their reading adventures. With his magic quill, he could turn mere words into vivid pictures, creating magnificent landscapes filled with unicorns jumping over rainbows or aliens slurping spaghetti on Mars. When it came to fun, these Tennessee tots were never left behind. After all, who said reading was a boring activity? Definitely not this lot! Whether they were giggling over the hilarious antics of Wimpy Kid or holding their breath during Harry Potter's daring escapades, they knew how to make the most of their reading time. Not to mention, their Word Wizard Wilbur always had a silly joke up his sleeve that would make them roll on the floor laughing! And thus, the kids from Tennessee were the happiest bunch in all of America. They had discovered the magical world of books and with their Word Wizard Wilbur, every day brought a new adventure, a new story, and a new punchline!

The US Engineering League is a prominent nationwide establishment that passionately supports STEM-focused education. We believe in the power of experiential learning and thus emphasize hands-on learning through competitive challenges. Since our inception in 2018, we have been the proud USA National Office for the acclaimed World Robot Olympiad, a global robotics competition that has over 35,000 participants from more than 80 countries. In addition to robotics, our educational offerings span across various STEM sectors such as coding, eSports, engineering, science and more. We're delighted to be connected with several of the most prominent STEM competition organizations. Our primary learning center is nestled in the heart of Naperville, IL. However, we understand the importance of accessibility and have therefore expanded our reach. We offer our well-rounded programs at a range of locations including schools, community centers, park districts, libraries, and even religious institutions. We are committed to making our educational opportunities available to as many children as possible, regardless of their location. At the US Engineering League, we're not just about teaching; we're about inspiring. We take immense pride in our ability to inspire the younger generation to master the skills that are vital for long-term success in STEM-based careers. We strongly believe that nurturing these skills from a young age can set the foundation for a successful and rewarding career in the rapidly evolving STEM fields.


At MTR we believe that all people have inherent and equal value from simply being made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We recognize that educational outcomes are tied to markers of well-being such as health, income, and vocational choice/opportunities. As a result, we are dedicated to addressing the systemic inequities of education in Memphis so that class, age, ability, race, gender, religion, and other identity markers do not determine a person’s value. We are committed to creating a more equitable educational landscape in the city and honoring the dignity and worth of each and every person.
