Meet the finalist teams in the K12 Robotics League Competition!

They’ll go from coding virtual robots to commanding real ones on physical mats—and we can’t wait to see the action!

About the K12 Robotics League

The K12 Robotics League provides a fun and exciting way for K12-powered students in grades 4–12 to build their STEM skills. In three virtual challenges—the Initial Friendly Challenge, First Round Qualifier, and Second Round Qualifier—teams coded robots using Virtual Robotics Toolkit (VRT) software to complete all kinds of tricky tasks.

Now, the final nine teams (three from each grade group: 4–6, 7–9, and 10–12) are moving on to the National Championship, where the virtual world meets real-life robotics.

What’s at stake?

Bragging rights, trophies, and a $500 prize for each member of the winning team in each grade group!
