    Kelly Mill fields two levels of robotics teams: 

    1. 5th Grade Competition Teams: Up to Five Teams of Four Students (5th Graders Only) 
      1. These five teams will compete in Vex IQ tournaments beginning in Oct/Nov with the goal to qualify for state (Feb) and nationals (May)! 
      2. Weekly meetings on Mondays and Thursdays from 2:20-3:45 starting in May and going through State/National Competitions. 
      3. Tryout dates: April 14, 17, 21, 24.
      4. Sign up HERE for tryouts before April 9th.
    2. 4th Grade In-House Competition Teams: Up to Five Teams of Four Students (4th Graders Only)
      1. These five teams will compete in-house and serve as a time to learn to build with the coaches' support.  
      2. Weekly meetings on Tuesdays from 2:20-3:45, starting in August through the first semester. 
      3. Tryout dates: August 12, 19 

    Our robotics teams are picked from yearly tryouts (April for the Competition Team and August for the In-House Competition Team).  Students can try out if they are in good academic standing, have a positive behavior record, and are Colts Who Care (Connected, Accountable, Respectful, and Engaged).    Enrolled students should utilize their Canvas page for all up-to-date information regarding robotics. Students will be expected to follow the Kelly Mill Mission and Expectations document.
