3 students controlling robot with remote control

Two dozen teams will fill Reeds Spring Intermediate School on February 20-21 for the 5th Annual VEX IQ Robotics Tournament.


The 24 teams of students, grades 5-8, come from all over Missouri and Arkansas. They will showcase robots they have designed and programmed to complete tasks, judged on speed and precision.


This is the last qualifying tournament before the state championships. These teams hope to ultimately qualify for the VEX IQ World Championship, set to take place in St. Louis in April.


The Reeds Spring competition runs from 4:30-7:30 p.m. on Friday and 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Saturday.


Admission is free, and concessions will be available. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to see young innovators in action!
