Robotics Sparks Innovation in Our Youngest Learners

Robotics Sparks Innovation in Our Youngest Learners

Elementary Robotics is more than building machines, it’s building thinkers. Through hands-on challenges, students learn to collaborate, problem-solve, test ideas, and persevere when things don’t work the first time. Robotics strengthens critical STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills, encourages creativity, and helps students see themselves as capable engineers and innovators. Most importantly, it’s fun, empowering, and accessible for all learners.

We have two exciting events coming up that highlight the enthusiasm and hard work of our elementary school Robotics teams:

3rd Grade Robolympics

Our 3rd graders are gearing up for their culminating Robolympics competition, where students will put their robots through a series of challenges designed to test design, strategy, and teamwork. Families are warmly invited to come cheer on our young engineers!
📍 Griffith’s Middle School
📅 Wednesday, February 11
4:00–7:00 PM

4th & 5th Grade Vex IQ Robolympics

📍 Griffith’s Middle School
📅 Saturday, January 24
8:00 AM–12:00 PM
