The Lancaster VEX IQ Robotics Club is a hands-on program for elementary students to learn how to build, program, and compete with robots. The club aims to teach computational thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a creative and supportive environment.

The club is open to students in grades 3 through 5. There is no maximum number of participants

All elementary schools in Lancaster ISD.

Students will learn to build and program robots, work as a team, solve real-world problems, and develop 21st-century skills like communication, creativity, and self-sufficiency.

This year, our goals are for students to build and program a competition-ready VEX IQ robot, maintain an Engineering Notebook, and participate in a Showcase to demonstrate their skills.

Club meetings will be held twice weekly, with additional practice sessions scheduled as we approach competitions or special events. See schedule of your school posted above.
