Hello, and welcome to contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you have a successful time here. However, I'm afraid I have to tell you that there have been a couple of problems with your start here. Firstly, the page you have created is unambiguously promotional, which is not permitted by Wikipedia policy. Reading the page it is unmistakable that it was written by someone who believes that "STEM2Leaf Robotics" is a good thing, and who wishes to convey that to readers, but Wikipedia content needs to be written from a neutral point of view, and it should be impossible to tell what opinion, if any, the person writing it has. Secondly, and even more importantly, it is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.

I'm afraid that because of the copyright problem the page will have to be deleted. I also think it is only fair to warn you that it doesn't look to me as though STEM2Leaf Robotics comes anywhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and if it doesn't then no article about it, no matter how it might be written, is likely to survive on Wikipedia. If you are interested in contributing to Wikipedia on other topics then I hope this bad news about your first attempt will not put you off. However, if your only interest is in publicising STEM2Leaf Robotics then you are more likely to succeed in doing so on some other site, as that is not the sort of thing that Wikipedia is for.
