High School VEX Robotics Competition (Ages 14–17)

A Competitive Robotics Program by Boswin Robotics Mississauga

High School VEX Robotics Competition Program Overview

At Boswin Robotics Mississauga, our High School VEX Robotics Competition program is designed to prepare students ages 14–17 for the future of technology and engineering. By learning robotics programming, sensors, automation, and 3D design, teens will sharpen their computational thinking and team-based problem-solving skills—skills that are not only critical for STEM careers but also in everyday life.

This program offers students an opportunity to design, build, and code robots in preparation for one of the most prestigious high school robotics tournaments in the world: the VEX V5 Robotics Competition. Top-performing teams have the chance to qualify for provincial, national, and global competitions.

What Will Be Learned in This Program

  • Fundamentals of Robotics: Understand the core principles behind robotics, including mechanical design, motion systems, and hardware integration.
  • Programming & Automation: Learn how to program autonomous and driver-controlled robots using industry-relevant platforms and languages.
