Chesstronics Robotics Programs

Chesstronics Academy helps students discover the excitement of robotics through building, coding, and teamwork.
Our program teaches real engineering concepts in a fun, supportive environment where students learn by doing—constructing robots,
solving challenges, and bringing their ideas to life.

From beginners to advanced competitors aiming for VEX IQ State or World events, we provide a structured path that helps every child
grow at their own pace and reach their potential.
