Students from Edison Middle School, King Elementary, and Leonardo da Vinci School for Gifted Learners competed in a robotics challenge inspired by the VEX format at Edison on May 28, 2025. 

The event included a pit area, practice field, and a live competition arena, with a scoreboard and a family-friendly atmosphere. 

Over the course of several months leading up to the event, students had the opportunity to design, build, and learn to solve problems with the VEX robots.

“You've become amazing communicators, problem-solving superstars, fantastic leaders, and even time management wizards,” GBAPS Tech Integrator Elizabeth Chavez said before the competition. “Most importantly, you've shown incredible teamwork.”

Edison Middle School had four teams participate, King Elementary had four teams and Leonardo da Vinci had five.

The awards for the competition are as follows:
