About the Program
West High School is proud to offer the STEM/Robotics Club.
Students who possess a strong interest in all things technology—including working with tools, web design, science, photography/videography editing, programming, public speaking, writing, and business—are encouraged to participate in the STEM/Robotics Club. Students learn valuable life skills through involvement in this club, including problem-solving, visual programming, and perseverance.
Competitions
An active team of three current students is required to compete in local tournaments. Through tournament participation, students learn valuable lessons about competitive games, teamwork, and building/maneuvering a working robot.
First Tech Challenge League
West High School, and all Sioux City High Schools, are part of the First Tech Challenge League. The purpose of the league is to build confidence in students while working in teams. The FIRST Tech Challenge helps students learn to think like engineers. Through the league, students will design, build, and program their robots to meet the season. The students enjoy the team spirit, collaboration, and interaction with other teams from throughout the tristate area.
