Robot Challenge 2024
Key Dates

2024 Our 28th challenge!

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IEEE Robot Challenge is a fun filled adventure for Middle and High School students to build and compete walking robots. Along the way they will learn working as a team, using hand tools, 3-D printing or wood working, and programing the robot to walk.

This project takes about 20 hours to complete. In April the teams enter into a competition based on how well their robot performs, the teams engineering workbook, and their oral report to a group of judges.

The cost of entry starts at less than $70. A perfect project for a Tech Ed class. The students get to apply what they have learned.
