Dear Sponsors,

Sloan Canyon Robotics competition teams and Pinecrest Academy Sloan Canyon would like to thank you for your support during the 2021-22 Vex Robotics Competition Season and sponsoring our teams' trip to the Vex Robotics World Championship.

We have found the 2022 Vex Robotics World Championship to be an amazing experience. This Championship brought over 3,000 teams from 36 nations together to celebrate STEM excellence. Student-led teams ranging from elementary to university-level showcased their strategy, teamwork, and desire to be crowned champions at this world-class global event held at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. We are thrilled we were able to attend this event thanks to your support.

We are proud to share that our team 74177M ranked 18th in their division and made the division playoffs. There were 73 teams total in the Spirit division. Some of our other teams came very close to playoffs as well. Team 74177Z was selected as a winner of the STEM Research Project: Biomimicry in Engineering by the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation. They were awarded the World Championship trophy that we are now proudly displaying in our classroom.

Competing in the VEX World Championship granted us the opportunity to collaborate with robotic students, like us, from across the world and we will remember this experience for a long time.

Sloan Canyon Robotics has grown to have a large ripple effect in the community. We are now known for our outreach programs, like our annual Girl Powered event and robotics camps. We’re committed to showing how exciting it is to be involved with STEM and inform children and teens in the community about STEM and robotics opportunities they might not be aware of.
