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, please check back in early February when we publish the sign up for our 2026 Open House. After the open house, recruitment consists of attending several hands-on sessions and completing girl and adult applications. If offered a spot, new members will join us in June 2026.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at vex.spacecookies@gmail.com.
We hope to see you on the field!
