Ravenna Senior High School student Damian McAlevy and VEX Robotics President Paul Copioli answer questions about the VEX Robotics Competitions. Over 700 teams, primarily from middle schools, high schools, and universities competed in the 2013 VEX Robotics World Championship in Anaheim, California this April.

Students are more excited for a future in Engineering

“VEX Robotics Competitions has inspired me to look at college for engineering”, Damian McAlevy. This experience helped to solidify the science, technology, engineering and math classes they have during the year. These students also saw an opportunity to work with students from all over the world. They took home an unique experience that stays with them throughout their life.

VEX Robotics World Championships

More than 10,000 students from 24 countries travel to Anaheim, California to celebrate the achievements of 700 of the world’s best Robotics Teams. These teams are made of students from High School, Middle School and elementary school. They compete head to head with other teams using their own custom-built and programmed robots. All finding unique ways to overcome challenges during the competition.

Nebraska Robotics Teams

The State of Nebraska has a strong network of High School, Middle School and elementary school robotics teams across the state. We saw many teams travel to the VEX Robotics World Championships to compete against the best in the world, including teams from Ravenna NE Robotics, Aurora High School, Omaha North High School, Benson High School, Millard North High School, Westside High School, St. Patricks Elkhorn Middle School, Mary Our Queen Middle School, and King Science Magnet school name name a few.

We would encourage you to check if your local school has a Robotics program. If so, see how you can help them build our future. These students could make a huge difference in the world.
