  • M'AIKEN MAGIC ROBOTICS TEAM
    The M'Aiken Magic Robotics Team was founded in 2002, to inspire youth about STEM. They achieve this by hosting yearly competitions that challenge students to work successfully as a team to build and program an industrial-size robot and compete against opponents in local, regional, national, and even international robotics competitions.

    TO INSPIRE
    The M'Aiken Magic Robotics Team hopes to inspire young people to be science, technology leaders, and innovators. They accomplish this by engaging them in exciting mentor-based projects and competitions that build science, teamwork, engineering, and technology skills that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence.

    TO CHALLENGE
    Each year, the M'Aiken Magic Robotics Team, consisting of high school students, coaches, and mentors, design and build a robot that is capable of competing against opponents in a specific challenge.

    WHO CAN JOIN?
    The M'Aiken Magic Robotics Team targets students at almost any age.
