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 and during school breaks. All member families require at least one female adult volunteer who would expect to spend 100-500 hours per year volunteering with the troop. Males are welcome too but we need at least one female registered adult Girl Scout volunteer in attendance per meeting as per Girl Scout adult:girl ratio rules.
We are in the midst of our recruitment for the 2026-2027 season. If you missed our open house on April 18, please sign up to attend our 2026 Virtual Information Session held on Wednesday., April 29 from 7-8pm using Google Meet. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/FKsgzUcSc62oZaEeA This session contains the same information presented to adults at the Open House.
If you will be in 9th or 10th grade in Fall 2027, the Space Cookies FRC team begins their recruitment process in August.
We hope to see you on the field!
