University High School

In March of 2025, a few of us reached out to our former high school, asking to present about the Wildcat Robotics Club to show the students what the University has to offer in the engineering program. We presented about the iterative design process that our club follows through the year and the engineering principles involved with designing a good robot. 

St Michael's STEM Night

Every February, St Michael's Middle School opens their doors to the Tucson community to display science fair projects and local STEM groups around the area. 

Wildcat Robotics showed up with a hands-on bot building activity, an interactive 3D printing lesson, and robot fight demos. Unfortunately, some of the younger elementary kids got scared of the robots and ran away. Overall, it was a great way to engage younger students into the world of engineering!

Pima STEM Adventure

On November 22nd, over 1,000 elementary and middle school students from around the Tucson and Phoenix area showed up at the Northwest Pima Community College Campus for some exciting STEM demonstrations.

Wildcat Robotics hosted a table and provided live demos of robots driving, hands on learning from old bots, and the best video footage from our club tournaments. Several of these schools showed up at the EVAC tournament the following day in Phoenix. 

CIA Robotics Academy

Every summer the CIA Robotics Academy has a week long summer camp at the University where 60 middle and high school students learn about coding, building, and competing task-based robots. 

This year, they invited Wildcat Robotics to host a day to teach about robotics and show off the destructive power of combat robots. We had the students learn about the basics of combat robotics, and followed that up with a hands on bot-building competition to build a sumo style robot with limited materials and time. They competed their sumo bots in a single elimination tournament.
