Empowering future generations through scientific competitiveness and cooperation.

For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology - Our vision for education affects a broad swath of the Southern Illinois landscape by providing learning opportunities to elementary, junior high, and high school students across the region. We currently provide learning opportunities and for elementary students through school year training in conjunction with St. Mary’s, Summersville, and Field grade schools while also seeding FLL teams. Our current team of 35 high school students are trained to become the best fabricators, machinists, or leaders they can be. Learning becomes truly powerful when tested under the crucible of competition. We host a sumo-bot competition with our elementary students, coach FLL competitors with our Junior High students, and hope to travel to two regional competitions. With every failed robot part, scrambled piece of code, or design challenge, our students become more and more invested in themselves and their future in STEM with each victory. The end results of the education and competition finally yield opportunity. In partnership with MVTHS and the Area Vocational Center our students have the opportunity for internships at local industries such as National Railway Equipment and Continental Tire. Furthermore, Continental has developed an internship program for maintenance techs and engineers that recruits exclusively from our program.

Our Varsity team has been busy Pedro Pathing their bot while also working through the design and development of their shooter. They’re testing, tweaking, problem-solving, and learning with every iteration.

The robot is coming together, and we’re excited to see what this team accomplishes!

Our JV team has been putting in the time, working through the engineering and design process to bring their robot to life. From brainstorming and problem-solving to making adjustments along the way, they’re learning that great robots are built through teamwork, persistence, and plenty of trial and error!

Build season is underway, and we can’t wait to see where this team takes it!

While our teams are busy learning, designing, building, and programming, our experienced members are also helping our newer members find their place.

This week, Collin was working with one of our newer programmers, helping them learn the basics of coding and getting more comfortable with programming.

That’s what being a RoboRam is all about — learning together, sharing knowledge, and helping each other grow.

We’re excited to see what this build season brings!

Last week, we hosted our RoboRams Robotics Camp, and it was a huge success! We had a great turnout of students who were eager to learn, create, and explore the exciting world of robotics.

A big THANK YOU to all of the parents who brought their students out and supported this opportunity. Your encouragement helps make programs like this possible.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to our RoboRams students who volunteered their time, shared their knowledge, and helped make this camp a memorable experience for everyone. We truly couldn't have done it without them!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this camp such a success. We are already looking forward to next year!
