Students in robotics work together to design, build and program robots. They later compete alongside other Robotics teams in a variety of game-based engineering challenges. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test as students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more.  Our SOAR-BOTICS meet weekly; but additional times and dates may be added during competition season and will be shared with students and parents.
