Robotics of Vermillion (ROV)

An inclusive, non-profit youth robotics program aimed at offering an educational experience at no-cost to school-aged children from 3rd grade through high school. Participants use science, technology, engineering, math, and teamwork skills as they build and code their own robots for competition.

​

ROV is not affiliated with any school or other organization.  Our participants come from local Vermillion schools and also home schools.

​

Teams meet two times a week in the early session (3:30-5pm) or the later session (5:30-7pm). Students are placed on teams with others in the same age group and with those who are able to meet at the same times.
