Southport Elementary Schools

Vex IQ

VEX IQ is based on plastic, snap-together pieces specifically designed to build highly functional robots. This system doesn’t require any prior knowledge in robotics. Students can easily build their first robot, and the wide variety of additional parts means that they can build anything they imagine as they continue to learn. Every kit includes a hand tool to make assembly and disassembly easy for small hands.

Elementary Robotics

On the Southport side of Perry Township, we have robotics in all six of our elementary schools. Our schools participate in VexIQ in their PLTW (Project Lead the Way) courses as well as after school teams.

Thanks to the support of Coaches, Teachers, and Perry Township we have added Clinton Young to the program this year, and 6 additional teams across the township. We now have 30 robotics teams at the elementary level. The teams listed below are on the Southport side of Perry Township.

We are very excited to kick off this year's season. Once again, we are asking for your support. We will host the same 3 events as last year.

November 16th - Perry Township Elementary Rapid Relay Turkey Time Event at Abraham Lincoln Elementary (30 teams)

January 18th - Perry Township Elementary Rapid Relay Winter Event at Perry Meridian Middle School (40+ teams)

February 22nd - Perry Township Elementary Invitational at Abraham Lincoln Elementary (only Perry teams - 30-33) (allowing for growth :)
