STEM learning starts with hands-on exploration!

The Junior Botball Challenge helps students from Pre-K through 12th grade build foundational STEM skills through engaging robotics activities. Students explore programming, problem-solving, and engineering design while educators receive curriculum resources and professional development to support their learning.

So… what exactly is Botball?🤖

It’s more than building a robot and showing up to a competition. Botball gives students the chance to design, build, program, test, and improve autonomous robots while developing skills in programming, engineering, problem-solving, and teamwork.

And the learning doesn’t stop when the competition does. With reusable robotics components, educator training, curriculum, and ongoing support, Botball is designed to be part of the learning experience all year long.

Meet Stack Attack, the 2026–2027 season game for Botball Explorer! 🤖📦

This season, Botball Explorer teams are taking on an automated warehouse challenge where their robots have to move, sort, deliver, and stack freight — completely autonomously.

Stack Attack includes two divisions designed for different levels of experience: Discovery for grades 6 and below and Expedition for grades 7–12.

Found these in the Botball archives 👀📸

Different teams, different robots, different years but so many of the same things that make Botball special. 🤖 From the first build to competition day, there are a lot of ideas, late nights, teamwork, and memories packed into these photos.

The robots might change, but the people, the problem-solving, and the excitement of seeing an idea actually come to life? That part sticks around. ❤️

Here’s a little trip down memory lane. Who remembers these days?

BOTBALL 🤖💻⚙️

What happens when you combine robots, coding, engineering, teamwork, and a little competition? Botball.

Students work together to design, build, and program fully autonomous robots that take on challenges using their own code and strategy. Along the way, they’re developing real-world skills in STEM, problem-solving, collaboration, and creative thinking.

FOCUS MODE: ON. 🔒💻

The robot is thinking.
The code is coding.
The team is locked in.
