Welcome to Macomb MARZ

Macomb Automation & Robotics Zone

Using the Computer

The Macomb Automation and Robotics Zone (MARZ) introduces K-12 students to careers in advanced manufacturing and robotics. With the support of grants and donations, MARZ: 

  • Helps to sustain existing middle- and high school robotics teams by providing a place where they can gather, interact and access tools like a regulation-sized practice field, CNC machine and more. 

  • Coordinates workshops for robotics team members to help them excel in all areas of competition including design, engineering, electrical, programming, business management, marketing, teamwork and more!

  • Organizes opportunities for team coaches and mentors to meet and learn. 

  • Identifies key locations in Macomb County and provides interactive workshops for hundreds of K-8 students featuring LEGO Robotics Education Kits.  

  • Assists in establishing new teams in underserved areas and supporting teams that advance competitively.  

MARZ was formed by Macomb County, Macomb Intermediate School District, Macomb Community College and the city of Sterling Heights. Its programming is aligned with the missions of FIRST and FIRST in Michigan to advance K-12 STEM education.
