Throughout the 12 week season, students will gain proficiency in programming, enabling them to command their robots' movements, actions, and responses to a variety of situations using a visual programming language. At the end of the season, teams compete in a local area event with an opportunity to advance to state and national tournaments.

At baseline, a robotics mentor is a trusted adult who is comfortable helping small groups of students stay on task to complete tasks and projects in a positive and fun way. Mentors do not need to have any specific skills other than a friendly attitude and the desire to help students reach their goals. Mentors are guided by coaches who design projects, teach students new skills, and manage the team as a whole. Mentors are expected to attend all practices and must pass a background check before working with the kids."
