Elementary (Grade 2 & 3)

Students in grades 2–3 have the opportunity to use the LEGO Education SPIKE Essential kits to explore basic robotics, coding, and engineering concepts through hands-on building and problem-solving activities. They design and program simple models, investigate cause-and-effect relationships, and develop creativity, collaboration, and critical-thinking skills while engaging in age-appropriate STEM challenges through their campuses library.

Junior High

Students in grades 6–8 have the opportunity to join their campuses robotics club. Where they use the VEX V5 Robotics System to learn robotics, engineering, and coding through hands-on design challenges. They build, program, test, and improve robots while developing problem-solving, teamwork, and critical-thinking skills through the engineering design process. Ultimately competing against clubs from other campuses. 

DISD Grades 4-8 Tournaments

Robotics Game Play for the 2026-2027 competition year:

January TBD @McAdams Junior High Gym

April TBD @McAdams Junior High Gym

Elementary/Middle School (Grade 4 & 5)

Students in grades 4–5 have the opportunity to join their campuses robotics club. Where they will use the VEX IQ Robotics System to learn foundational robotics, engineering, and coding skills through hands-on activities and challenges. They build and program robots, explore simple machines and sensors, and develop problem-solving, creativity, teamwork, and critical-thinking skills while applying the engineering design process. Ultimately competing against clubs from other campuses. 

High School

Students in Robotics I and II use the VEX V5 Robotics System to develop advanced engineering, programming, and problem-solving skills. Through designing, building, programming, and testing competitive robots, students apply real-world concepts in robotics, automation, electronics, and mechanical design while gaining hands-on experience that prepares them for college, technical training, and STEM careers.
