Children are preparing for Junior Robotics Competition Must have previous experience in robotics and programming. Take your robotics skills to the next level in our Junior Robotics Competition program! Designed for students with prior LEGO Robotics experience, this team-based class challenges young engineers to design, build, program, and refine robots to solve exciting missions and engineering challenges. Throughout the season, students develop essential STEM skills while learning the engineering design process, programming, strategic thinking, teamwork, and effective communication. Working together as a team, participants will test ideas, solve real-world problems, improve their robots through iteration, and prepare for local robotics competitions and showcases. Whether the season culminates in a local tournament, robotics challenge, or STEM showcase, students gain valuable experience collaborating under real competition conditions while building confidence, creativity, and resilience. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of innovators by providing an engaging, hands-on environment where students can grow as problem-solvers, leaders, and teammates. Students will: Design and build advanced LEGO robots Learn and apply block-based programming Develop engineering and problem-solving skills Practice teamwork, communication, and leadership Prepare for robotics competitions and STEM challenges Build confidence through hands-on learning and real-world projects Please note: This is a continuation-level robotics class intended for students with previous LEGO Robotics experience and is not designed as an introductory robotics course. *Make-ups and cancelations: For semester registrations only one make-up class per month is allowed with a 24hr cancellation notice.
