How Robotics WorksThe Evergreen Middle School PTSA runs a Robotics Club for all students grade 6-8. This is a competitive club in which students learn about robotics concepts and build a robot to compete in the VEX IQ Global Challenge. Teams are composed of 3-5 students and at least one parent coach. Weekly meetings are held at school, and students are encouraged to take their robotics kits home between meetings to work on their robots. Team Commitments Robotics is a competitive club and thus requires non-trivial commitment in terms of time and effort. Additionally, please remember that Robotics Club is a student-centered, team-based activity. To be a proactive team player and to have the best experience in this activity, please think carefully about your capacity to commit to Robotics Club activities before signing up. Commitments include:
Expenses
Club Meetings Topics covered during club meetings include:
Our club meetings will be taught by a team of high schoolers led by Head Coache Brooke Lin, all of whom have many years of both VEX IQ and VRC experience, and who have qualified and won awards numerous times at the VEX World Championships. Following official club meetings, these high schooler coaches will be available for Q&A by email. How to Join Robotics Club
All steps must be completed by 9/16/2024. Because of the volume of students, this will be a hard deadline. Submissions after this date will not be accepted! Registration may close early if the club maximum capacity is reached. Looking for a Team? A spreadsheet has been created to assist in the self-formation of teams, which will include contact information of all students unable to form a team and teams looking for additional members. If this applies to your student, please contact the club chair at robotics@evergreenptsa.org for the spreadsheet link. If your student is unable to form/find a team by the first club meeting, or if the club has already reached its capacity, the registration fee will be fully refunded.
