VEX IQ Junior Robotics Competition

A Competitive Robotics and AI Program (Ages 8–14)

Junior Robotics Competition Program Overview

Boswin Robotics proudly presents the VEX IQ Junior Robotics Competition—a thrilling, hands-on robotics and AI program for kids ages 8–14 in Mississauga. Whether your child is a beginner curious about robotics or an advanced young engineer exploring AI and coding, this program offers a challenge for every learner.

Through game-based robotics and AI competitions, students develop core STEM, robotics, and AI skills, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving abilities while preparing for official VEX IQ regional and provincial events.

The program is divided into two tiers—Tier 2 (open to all levels) and Tier 1 (invite-only for advanced students)—making it one of the top robotics and AI programs in Mississauga for both newcomers and passionate competitors.

2025–26 Game:
VEX IQ “Mix & Match”

The Mix & Match challenge features fast-paced robotics action on a 6’ x 8’ field. Teams compete in:

  • Teamwork Challenge: Two robots work together in 60-second matches to score as many points as possible.
  • Robot Skills Challenge: A single robot competes in driving-only and autonomous coding matches to maximize its score.

Each team will also be judged on robot performance, creativity, programming quality, and engineering documentation—making this one of the most engaging robotics programs Mississauga has to offer.
