What is Botball?
Botball is an action packed robotics competition for middle and high-school students that develops excitement, knowledge, and practical understanding through hands-on experience with science, technology, engineering, and math. Read our About Botball page to learn more.
Why is Botball Different from Other Programs?
Computer Programming
The robots are always autonomous - no remote control is used. Instead, students learn to program their robots in advance using C, the most widely used programming language in industry and academia. Botball gives students the tools to develop sophisticated strategies using artificial intelligence with embedded systems.
Long Term Impact on the Classroom
Teachers who know how to use robotics to teach STEM and have appropriate educational materials can impact students for years. That's why every Botball region hosts a hands-on professional development workshop for educators, and why Botball robotics equipment is reusable and remains with the teams after the tournaments.
