The Winneconne Robotics Club is made up of students from the Winneconne Community School District that are in grades 3-12. These students are put into teams according to their age and experience to work to compete in the worldwide VEX Robotics Competitions. These students design, code, and build a robot that they feel can complete the year's challenge as well as keeping an Engineering Design Notebook documenting the process. At events they are also judged by adult volunteer judges based on supplied rubrics so they have to be able to talk about what they are doing, challenges, obstacles, etc. Students compete in "Regional" competitions in Wisconsin and work to try to qualify for the State Championships and if they perform or win specific judged-awards there can even move onto the VEX Robotics World Championships.

IQ Robotics Club offers a team-oriented, hands-on learning experience for your child. Team members make a commitment to contribute to the team so it can accomplish its objectives. Team members work together toward a common goal and contribute in a positive way to prepare for the competitive tournaments. Roles and responsibilities within a team differ based on the requirements of the tournament and the skill/experience of the team members. An effort is made to place students in an area of interest or a position where they demonstrate skill or aptitude. Designers, builders, drivers, and programmers are the most common roles but others such as demonstration, presentation, and public speaking as well.

Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (REC) is a worldwide game and competition organization where teams design, build, program, and operate a robot in an arena. Teams compete with and against each other to achieve game objectives, earning points for reaching specific goals. This program provides students an opportunity to learn about areas rich with career opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Beyond science and engineering principles, our robotics club encourages teamwork, leadership, and group problem solving with peers.
