We are holding an in-person orientation for STEAMwhiz VeX IQ Robotic Teams on Friday evening, May 3rd 🥳 It’s a fantastic opportunity for students going into 4-8 grade to dive into the world of robotics! It’s a big commitment, so pls take a look at the slides. If interested, use the link below to fill out the form. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section.
For our younger students who are interested in robotics, we are planning a Robotics Enrichment Program (REP) for this Fall that will prepare them for Vex Robotics Competitions once they enter 4th grade. More info coming soon!!

SLIDES
This was last year’s competition, which is currently in the World Finals!
We volunteered at the VeX State Finals this year in Queensbury NY. This was an awesome all-girls local team that did really well 🔥🚀
David is interested. We’re not sure Rec vs Competitive at this point. What time is the meeting on May 3rd?

Hi Brian, that’s great! The biggest difference is the time commitment. If you check the slides above, the competitive track starts in May and basically runs through March and is ~250 hrs. The recreational track starts in Sept and ~150 hrs. The competitive track allows the students 4 opportunities to modify their builds, 4 internal competitions, and more time to be taught about advanced robotic concepts during summer. It’s for students who extremely motivated and want to compete at a high level. The recreational track will provide about half the builds and internal competitions and probably won’t stray too far from the start build for the competition. It focuses more on being exposed to robotics and exploring the aspects of competition.
