Welcome to the McKinney STEAM Academy, Home of Mercenary Robotics! 

As a 100% volunteer-run non-profit, we are committed to inspiring and equipping public, private, and homeschool students in our community with skills in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). We also take pride in giving back, with our students volunteering thousands of hours, and many earning The President’s Volunteer Service Award.

We welcome you to explore our exciting programs, including multiple FIRST LEGO League and FIRST Tech Challenge teams, along with FIRST Robotics Competition Team 6369 - Mercenary Robotics!
