Welcome

The Junior Robotics Challenge is designed to inspire and excite its participants as they explore science and engineering in a fun and inventive atmosphere.

This week-long day program teaches 6th-8th graders the basics of designing, building, and programming autonomous robots using the LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ platform. The student-designed robots then face-off in a friendly competition on the final day to demonstrate what was learned during the week.
