General Info
First and foremost, all of us at TechPoint Foundation for Youth (TPF4Y) want to commend you for your commitment to bringing robotics to students in the 2024-25 school year. We know it isn’t always easy, but you continue to work hard to bring engaging opportunities to students, and for that, we thank you.
Since the launch of the State Robotics Initiative, Indiana has become a leader in competitive youth robotics - we currently boast more VEX IQ robot teams than any other state in the country! This is, in large part, thanks to wonderful Robot Educators like yourselves who have stepped up to coach and support a robotics team. With your help, our goal is to continue to demonstrate to students, parents, school administrators, and the larger community that competitive robotics can, and should, be elevated to the same level of prominence as sporting events. With this in mind, we are happy to confirm that the 2025 Indiana Robotics State Championship will again be held at The Indiana State Fairgrounds on Saturday, March 22, 2025!
As the Event Partner, we are committed to hosting an exceptional event that will reward Indiana students who have worked diligently to earn a chance to compete at the state championship level. The Indiana State Fairgrounds is known for hosting many of Indiana’s most compelling events, and in March 2025, the Robotics State Championship will join the list! We hope you and your students are as excited as we are for the impact this event will have on Robotics in Indiana.
