General Info

Monroe High School, Holmes Middle School, and CSU Northridge are delighted to host the “VEX in the Valley 'I Have A Dream...' Tournament,” a VEX Spin Up Tournament. Winning specific awards at this event will qualify teams to attend the California State Championship.  The event is open to 40 middle and/or high school VEX teams. We are accepting up to four teams from each organization. We encourage organizations to put their extra robot teams on the waiting list if the event becomes full. We will place additional teams a week prior to the tournament.

Wait list preference will be given to rookie teams, teams that have not be able to attend many event, and to schools that host or co-host an event of their own. If you have a team on the wait list and are a rookie team, or are hosting or co-hosting an event in the 2022-23 season, please email the event organizer with the team or event information, and you will be given priority to be placed in the event.

Judging is planned to be done remotely. Teams will be given an interview prior to the event and notebooks must be submitted by January 02, 2023. How to Submit a Digital Engineering Notebook
