Our applications are officially closed for our 2024-2025 season. Come back in February for a chance to join us next year!
Girls and non-binary students in grades 6 through 12 are eligible to join the Space Cookies VEX team. No prior experience is necessary, but all experience levels are welcome! Our troop is girl-led with many leadership roles in both our sub-teams and as a whole. In addition to robotics, our troop also offers various learning and experience opportunities including web design, photography, videography, event planning and much more!
Attend our Open House in March 2025
Every year we host an Open House for girls interested in joining the team. Girls will have the opportunity to meet our troop and try out fun robotics-related activities and parents/guardians will be able to attend an informational Q&A session for further questions about our robotics troop. Note that our team is 100% volunteer led – there is a significant parent/guardian participation component as well as girl attendance % required as part of joining and maintaining a spot on our team.
We will add a link to register for our 2025 Open House in late January/early February 2025.
In-Person Workshops
After attending our Open House, we will send out instructions on how to sign up for a 3-day visit to our lab, where you will attend 3 consecutive troop meetings (aka “In-Person Workshops”) which are held Tuesday & Thursday evenings at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View. These hands-on workshops will focus on Design, Mechanical and Programming concepts. Attendance at these workshops is mandatory – only candidates who attend all 3 consecutive meetings will be able to apply to join the team.
Until then, if you have any questions, feel free to email us at vex.spacecookies@gmail.com.
We hope to see you on the field!
