Welcome to the iCode Pearland & Alvin ISD VEX IQ Robotics Competition!
We are excited to welcome teams from across the area for a great day of robotics competition, teamwork, and fun!
This event is hosted in partnership between iCode Pearland and Alvin ISD and is designed to provide students with an exciting opportunity to compete, learn, collaborate, and showcase the skills they have developed throughout the season.
Teams will have the opportunity to participate in Teamwork Challenge matches and Robot Skills Challenges, while meeting and competing alongside other students who share their passion for robotics.
Our goal is to create a positive, welcoming, and student-centered tournament experience for everyone. Whether this is your team's first competition or you are an experienced competition team, we hope every student leaves the event with new experiences, new friendships, and great memories.
Coaches, parents, families, and spectators are welcome to attend and support their teams. We ask everyone to demonstrate good sportsmanship and help us create a positive environment for all participating students.
