Unlocking the Robo-Rivalry: the 2024 K12 Robotics Competition!

Congratulations to our winners!

This year, we invited students in grades 4–12 to join the K12 Robotics League. Students worked in teams of two or three, with guidance from their instructors, and participated in two virtual qualifying rounds. Teams competed against others in their grade bands (4–6, 7–9, and 10–12) and skill levels (intermediate and advanced). The final round culminated in-person at K12 headquarters where students had the chance to put their skills to the test with physical robots.

We want to celebrate our winning teams from the national championship battle! And congratulations to all the students who participated in this year’s league—you’ve demonstrated incredible creativity, problem-solving skills, and coding expertise. Be proud of your achievements and enjoy this exciting culmination of your hard work!
