Elementary students at thirteen TUSD school sites have been busy learning how to build and drive the VEX IQ clawbot to play the game Highrise. Once students learn how to play the game, they innovate their robot to try and score even more points. The object of the game is to move cubes to the goal zone and also try and stack the cubes.

This is where students get their first opportunity to begin their TUSD Robotics journey. Some students will continue to build and program robots to play the official VEX robotics games each season into middle and high school.

Thank you to the following coaches for your time and energy spent hosting a robotics club at your school site during the second half of the school year! Each coach hosted a student showcase to demonstrate all that was learned. Great job coaches!!
