    If you are interested for the 26-27 season (returning and new students), there will be announcements in the newsletter and on this page in August for the Interest Meeting and regular meeting dates.

    What We Do: From September to February, students will collaborate through the engineering and design process to design, build, and test robots that will compete in VEX IQ competitions, which are typically held on Saturdays. Students will learn important academic and life skills, such as teamwork, organization, problem-solving, perseverance, communication, and professionalism. There are roles available for a variety of interests and skills, such as researcher, builder, coder, notebook manager, and driver. If students make it to State, they will compete in Auburn in February, and then if they make it Worlds, they will compete in St. Louis, MO, in April.

    When We Meet: Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:30-5:00 pm starting in August (specific date TBA).

    Where We Meet: Blue 238, and then we will go down to Purple Pod 110 CTE Lab together

    Fees: There will be an $80 fee that can be paid online or by cash/check to me. This fee covers team registration for competitions. This amount may increase depending on if we do T-shirts or if we make it to State or Worlds.

    Competitions: We typically attend three to four competitions (Saturdays in December - February) to try and qualify for State. Competitions generally run from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. The closest competitions tend to be held in Hartselle, Arab, and the Birmingham area. A competition schedule will be announced in the Fall once all competitions are listed on the RobotEvents website.
