    Description

    For 6th through 12th grade students, FORA runs a VEX Robotics program from late September through early March. The VEX Robotics curriculum emphasizes hands-on activities and incorporates their core values of creativity, teamwork, persistence, and quality. Students practice these values as they navigate the field of robotics and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

    Students are split into groups, and each group builds their own robot. We are recruiting for robotics tutors to help students collaborate, problem solves, and compete with their creations!
