Girls and non-binary students in grades 6 through 12 are eligible to join the Space Cookies VEX team. No prior experience is necessary, and 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!
We meet year-round Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5-7:30pm at our lab at NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field where all members must attend at least 80% of the meetings, which includes absences due to illness, school conflicts and so forth. Some teams also meet on Saturdays from 10am-2pm. All members require at least one adult volunteer who who would expect to spend 100-500 hours per year volunteering with the troop.
For the 2026-2027 season, we will be hosting an open house in Spring 2026. We are currently in the process of moving facilities within NASA Ames Research Center. Once we complete the move (current estimate is end of March 2026 but this date has moved out several times) we will schedule the open house, so please check back for updates.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at vex.spacecookies@gmail.com.
We hope to see you on the field!
