Celebrating National Robotics Week 2025 in true STEM style! Over the past few weeks, our incredible students have been hard at work designing, building, and programming VEX IQ robots—and wow, did they deliver! Each team engineered custom claw designs to take on a series of robotics challenges such as pushing cubes into scoring zones, lifting and depositing cubes into elevated goals, and threading rings onto vertical poles with precision. We wrapped it all up with our very own PRS Robolympics Tournament, where every team brought their A-game in a friendly and fiercely fun competition. 🏆 So proud of these future engineers and innovators! #NationalRoboticsWeek #VEXIQ #STEMeducation #Robolympics2025 #FutureEngineers #HandsOnLearning
