INNOVATE
Robotics at CCS is an extracurricular STEM club that equips students with industry level skills in mechanical engineering, computer science, and project management. Additionally, students learn and develop valuable soft skills such as public speaking, working as part of a team and design-based critical thinking. Middle and High School students compete in tournaments through VEX Robotics, the largest and fastest growing middle school and high school robotics program globally.
Each year, an exciting engineering challenge is presented in the form of a game. Students, with guidance from their teachers and mentors, build innovative robots and compete year-round.The VEX Robotics Competition prepares students to become future innovators with 95% of participants reporting an increased interest in STEM subject areas and pursuing STEM-related careers.

CCS Robotics #663
In just seven years, CCS robotics has grown to be one of the top programs in Tennessee. It attracts students with diverse interests and hones their skills in engineering, programming, research, project management, and public speaking. Through the student-led program, teams learn to work together to build, drive, and program robots, meticulously improving designs and detailing updates and processes over the course of a year. Despite the fierce level of competition, students build knowledge and forge deep friendships, with older students mentoring younger teams.

What is VEX?
The VEX Robotics Competition, in partnership with the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF), is a global, student-driven program that teaches STEM concepts through hands-on experience in leadership, teamwork, creative problem-solving, and engineering. Each year, VEX issues a new challenge and provides the parts students use to design, build, and program their own robots from scratch. Teams then compete at various levels throughout the year, applying the engineering design process to complete tasks and continually refine their creations.
