SCORE

Dear Alabama Robotics Community,

After careful consideration, SCORE at Auburn University will continue serving as an Event Partner with the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF) for the 2026-27 season. We recognize that the recent changes within the educational robotics community have created uncertainty for many teams, coaches, and educators. Although we still do not have all the answers, we DO know that as an organization SCORE remains committed to its mission of expanding access to high-quality robotics education, inspiring future STEM professionals, and equipping educators with the tools to teach future-ready skills. This decision reflects our commitment to that mission, and we look forward to continuing to support Alabama students, educators, and the robotics community throughout the upcoming season.

We look forward to working alongside our dedicated coaches, volunteers and partners who continue to invest in robotics education for Alabama students. SCORE exists to help schools and teachers be successful in robotics and that mission remains unwavering.

Thank you,

The Team at SCORE

» Week 1 of S.C.O.R.E. Camps with Science Matters! 😁☀️ «

This week featured Beginning 3D Printing and VEX GO Mars Mission!

In Beginning 3D Printing, campers learned the basics of 3D design and printing while creating projects such as custom keychains, marble mazes, and other unique designs. They also explored the engineering design process and visited the Auburn University Arboretum to learn about symmetry in design. Campers also visited the Engineering MakerSpace, where they toured the facility and learned about the different tools and technology used to create projects.

In VEX GO Mars Mission, campers explored space through robotics by building VEX GO robots and competing in the VEX GO Mars Mission Competition. Throughout the week, they visited the Biodome and participated in a meteor-making activity to learn more about space and planetary science.

Overall, it was a great first week full of creativity, teamwork, and hands-on STEM activities. We hope everyone had fun and learned something new along the way! 🚀🤖
