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 builds 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 or online, and students are encouraged to take their robotics kits home between meetings to work on their robots. Rubrics and Tournament Information Team Commitments Robotics is a competitive club and thus requires non-trivial commitment in terms of time and effort. Additionally, please remember that robotics is 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 activities before signing up. Commitments include:

Club Meetings Topics covered during club meetings include:
Our club meetings will be taught by a team of high schoolers, all of whom have many years of both VEX IQ and VRC experience, and whom have qualified and won awards numerous times at the VEX World Championships. Following official club meetings, these high schoolers will be available for Q&A by email. How to Join Robotics Club
All steps must be completed before 09/19/2021. Because of the volume of students, this will be a hard date, submissions after this date will not be accepted! *New for this year* 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 first pay the Robotics Club registration fee, then contact the club chairs at robotics@evergreenptsa.org for the spreadsheet link. If your student is unable to form/find a team by the first day of the club meeting, or if the club has already reached its capacity, the registration fee will be fully refunded. Stay Connected *New for this year* Want to stay connected with what's happening at Robotics Club, help your student to find a team, post technical questions, look for another team to do scrimmage, etc?
