VEX IQ Robotics Club: An Introduction to A Competitive Robotics Team
In this immersive program, participants will engage in hands-on robotics activities while developing effective strategies to excel in future VEX IQ competitions. Students will be guided by experienced CT STEM Academy Coaches (Team 55508) who have competed in statewide competitions as participants and now coaches. This program is stragegically designed to prepare students fostering a deep understanding of the competition environment and enhancing their ability to perform during competitions. Beyond robotics, the program provides a rich introduction to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) principles. Participants will explore how these disciplines intersect in the design and operation of robots as well as the value of teamwork.
This Robotics Club will have 5 sessions. For more information prior to the start, please email info@ctstemacademy.org or call us to schedule a phone call with CT STEM Academy Staff.
