R4Creating VEX VRC (ages 13-18)

In the Spring, we have a community team open to any student, to compete in VEX Robotics competitions although registration is limited so be sure to sign up quickly. Teams are small groups of 2-7 students working together to build, program and compete with a robot.

VRC (ages 13-18) begins December 9, 2023

Build Days- team members schedule times that are convenient to them in communication with coaches but this will generally be on Fridays or Saturdays

Award-Winning Robotics Program
The cost to participate on the team is $300 per family and an additional $125 per child. This money can be paid in one payment or divided out monthly, whatever is most convenient for your family. Scholarships are available should you need support to participate in the program. This fee does not cover the cost of travel to competitions.

In addition, students and parents will be asked to participate in fundraising activities to raise support for the entire program or to assist the team in some volunteer position.

Program Benefits
While the membership fee does not cover the cost of travel to competitions, it does give you access to the robotics team in addition to other opportunities including:
-STEM entrepreneurial training
-Volunteer mentoring training
-Student Leadership training
-Letter certifying student volunteer hours upon request (with you providing number of volunteer hours)

Student Leadership Opportunities

The team itself  is student-led. Therefore, students have the opportunity to take on leadership roles.

We strive to Be Greater Than Average which means we work hard at learning more each day - sometimes that leads to trophies and wins while other times it leads to failing forward and challenges. All of it builds strong character and that, in this humble coach's opinion, is the most important thing that we can teach any student.

Please let us know if you have any questions!
