Robotics
A community of students, educators, and thinkers with a common goal; exploring new concepts in STEM and instilling a lifelong love of learning. Started in 2007, the Sacred Heart Robotics team has grown rapidly over the years, and now includes over 100+ students from 4th-12th grade.
Students compete in numerous Robotics Competition programs, which introduce students to real-world engineering skills within the framework of different "games" released every year.
Above all, we seek to teach our students the skills and competencies they will need in the real world, while also building a positive community that encourages students to pursue what they are passionate about.
In both LMS & SHP Robotics, students are exposed to a variety of tools and techniques, including but not limited to 3D-printing, laser-cutting, welding, and computer-assisted design. Students also tackle complicated engineering challenges using real-world problem-solving frameworks with peers from all grade levels.

About the Program: What is FIRST Tech Challenge?
Founded in 2007, SHP Robotics is one of the largest student-led organizations on campus. For the past nine years, we have competed in the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and received numerous victories and awards. Last year was our most successful yet, where we sent three high school teams to regionals and won the second place award for our software.
Save the Date – Home Comp – November 16 or 17, 2024
On the weekend of November 16th and 17th, we will be hosting our fourth annual “Home Competition” on the SHP campus. We will finalize the date (whether it happens Saturday or Sunday) soon so for now, please mark this weekend in your calendars.
The SHP Robotics Teams meet in the Robotics Studio in the William C. Campbell Arts & Academics Building basement (WVC Room 107 & 108). The LMS Robotics Teams meet in the Creativity Hub.
