The 2024 K12 Robotics Competition, part of K12’s Student
Enrichment Programs, is open to all students in grades 4–12. This
includes students enrolled at K12-powered schools as well as
students at any other school in the U.S.
“With the rise of artificial intelligence, we are seeing
firsthand the impact that technology is having on our everyday
life. Competitions like these give students a fun way to learn
technology, competitive skills, and get a head start on a great
career working as the innovators of our future,” said Karen
Ghidotti, Stride Senior Vice President of Customer Experience and
Advocacy.
Students will compete as a team of 2 to 3 members. Each team
must register an instructor—this can be a parent, guardian,
teacher, or other adult who will act as a mentor or guide
throughout the competition. Instructors will have access to
training materials and the robotics software.
There is a low entry fee of $40 per student or team to cover
Cogmation software, instructor training, and access to the K12
Robotics competitions.
The first three rounds will take place virtually and the Top 18
semi-finalists will compete in person coming June 2024. Prizes will
be awarded to the winning team in six distinct categories. The
teams with the highest score in each grade band and skill level at
the national competition will receive a trophy and prize. The
deadline to enter is October 31, 2023.
The competition is divided into three grade bands (4–6, 7–9, and
10–12). Each band consists of two skill levels: intermediate and
advanced. This structure allows students to choose the appropriate
level based on their expertise and experience. Stride will provide
training sessions to equip instructors with the knowledge and
skills required to guide their teams effectively through the
challenges.
K12 Enrichment Programs help ignite interests in students in
grades K-12th and encourage them to learn new skills, build a
portfolio of creative work, and foster long-lasting friendships and
connections.
Registration is open today and is available to all students
nationwide. Other available enrichment programs include national
art competitions, cookoffs, environmental innovation challenge,
creative storytelling through photography, and more.
