Mission

Community outreach is an integral part of the Potomac Robotics program. Robotics has taught us to develop our problem-solving skills, encouraging us to incorporate the math and science topics we learn in class with our creativity. Through spreading awareness for robotics and STEM topics within The Potomac School and the greater Washington D.C. area, we hope to inspire others in the same way robotics has inspired us.

Local Events
​

Potomac School Robotics members strive to be active in the promotion of STEM and robotics in the greater Washington DC area. Through attending technology conferences and mentoring local robotics teams, we hope to encourage other students in our area to explore STEM fields. Learn more here.

Cross-Divisional Outreach

As members of a K-12 school community, the members and mentors of the Potomac School Robotics program have a unique set of opportunities and experiences available to them. By having our older students helping and mentoring our younger students, we believe that these experiences are able to enrich everyone involved.  Learn more here. 

Tutorials, Tips, & Resources

Members and mentors of the VEX Robotics team have created tutorials and guides, and have compiled a list of useful resources for those who are new to robotics. These tutorials include tips for tournaments, building tricks, and programming workshops. Check out the tutorials and resources here. 

FLL/Vex IQ Mentoring
​

One of the many service opportunities for High School robotics members is to help mentor the 6th grade FLL and the 7th and 8th grade Vex IQ teams. Read below to learn more about what mentoring means within each program. Learn more here.
