Weekly Instruction & Workshop Sessions

RoboKai members get 1-2 hours of club time each week, depending on their membership options. Sessions combine building and programming with hands-on instruction in mechanical engineering, coding, design, mathematics, geometry, physics, and more. The content each week is member driven, with some sessions devoted more to instruction and others devoted more to building and playing games. Our goal is for every member is to have fun, stay engaged, and come away with a deeper understanding of STEM subjects than when they started.

Seasonal Leagues & Teams

Members who sign up for our seasonal Leagues will get extra club time each week and be assigned to teams of up to 4 members that will compete in the international VEX IQ Challenge, the world's largest youth robotics competition. RoboKai will handle team registration and provide coaching at tournaments. Leagues are open to all members between the ages of 8-14, and teams are formed according to age groups, with a U12 division and a U15 division.

Challenges & Games

In additional to the VEX IQ Challenge for League teams, RoboKai will create in-house challenges and games for all members. In-house challenges are designed to reinforce engineering and programming lessons. They are also a good way for new members to test the waters on the competition experience before committing to a League team.
