VEX IQ is a robotics platform designed to transform STEM learning for young students and their teachers. In the VEX Competitions, students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play against other teams from around the world in a game-based engineering challenge. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test on the playing field as students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more. The robotics team will compete on Saturdays about once a month and meets in the mornings before school. The competition schedule is posted below. 

Applications for the 2025-2026 school year team will be available during Open House in August.
