APS Robotics Teams
APS Training Academy has four robotics teams for students in grades 1-12. The teams are designed for students who have enjoyed several of our short courses and want to further enhance their STEAM learning. Unlike our short courses, the teams meet 1-3 days per week during the competition season (September-March).
Student's work together to design, build and program a robot that performs a particular task and then compete against other local teams. Students have the potential of competing at a state and even global level depending on how successful their robot is.
This program is FREE however students must be able to attend a minimum amount of sessions per season in order to participate.
