The High School Robotics Program is an advanced, competition-driven engineering pathway centered around VEX V5 Robotics, software development, CAD engineering, drones, and artificial intelligence applications. Designed for high school students seeking rigorous technical experience, the program combines industry-level engineering tools with high-level competitive robotics. Students develop advanced programming skills in Python and C++, explore artificial intelligence concepts including object detection and computer vision systems, and gain extensive CAD experience using SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Onshape. Throughout the year, students apply these skills in highly competitive VEX V5 Robotics competitions while working collaboratively through real-world engineering challenges, strategic problem solving, and iterative design processes. (Some prior experience requried)

From May through February, students transition into the full VEX V5 Competition Season, where teams design, manufacture, program, test, and continuously refine highly competitive robots for regional, state, and world-level competition. Students apply advanced autonomous programming, strategic game analysis, systems engineering, and iterative testing methodologies while competing against top teams from across the world. The competition season emphasizes leadership, collaboration, resilience, project management, and high-performance engineering in an environment modeled after real-world engineering teams and technology organizations. 

During the Skills Concentration Phase from March through May, students focus on developing advanced technical and engineering foundations across multiple disciplines. Students explore drone systems and flight fundamentals while building programming experience through Python, artificial intelligence applications, object detection systems, and advanced robotics software development in C++. In parallel, students gain extensive exposure to professional engineering workflows through CAD development in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Onshape. This phase emphasizes software engineering, mechanical design, automation, rapid prototyping, and real-world engineering problem solving while preparing students for the demands of elite competitive robotics.
