About the Competition & Summer STEM Academy in Baltimore City:
- The BCPSS Summer VEX Robotics Competition is a volunteer-run event. We are recruiting the support of local companies and service organizations to join the dozens of already committed volunteers to fill the 100+ positions.
- Up to 200 teams and more than 500 rising 7th and 8th graders from Baltimore City Middle Schools will attend.
- The event is the culmination of 6 weeks of summer school. The students are in class for math and literacy in the morning and are then applying these skills to build robots in the afternoon.
