HMS Robotics

2024-2025 Season Has Started! 

Why Robotics?

The Importance of STEM

As the world grows increasingly complex, the need for individuals equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle tough problems—gathering information, evaluating it, and presenting effective solutions—continues to grow. Despite this, relatively few students are proficient in the core subjects of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and even fewer express interest in pursuing these fields beyond high school.

Increasingly, educators and students seek hands-on, sustainable, and cost-effective approaches to engage young people and maintain their interest in STEM through elementary, middle, and high school, and beyond.

Success of Hornedo Middle School Robotics Teams

Last season (23-24), Hornedo Middle School had tremendous success in our competitive robotics program. We had eight teams participate in the VEX V5 Robotics Competition and two teams compete in the VEX IQ Robotics Competition. One team from each program advanced through local competitions, then a regional championship, qualifying them to compete at the annual VEX World Championships.

The VEX Robotics World Championship, also known as VEX Worlds, is a multi-day competition that brings together the top VEX Robotics teams from around the world to compete for the title of world champion. This event is the culmination of the VEX Robotics competition season, which includes regional, state, and national competitions held throughout the year.

While we cannot guarantee the same level of success every season, we are committed to working hard and doing our best to achieve it again!

If you're interested in being a part of this exciting opportunity and you are enrolled in Engineering at Hornedo Middle School, read below to learn about the requirements for joining the team.
