Endeavor Microschool

Our Summit Seekers (Team 29032E) are at the VEX Robotics VIQRC World Championship in St. Louis Tuesday-Thursday this week!

While it wasn’t perfect, we’re super proud of their efforts and the growth of our first-year program! They ended 58th in the world in robot skills (combined driving and autonomous coding scores) with a score of 291! In their division, they ended in 44th place with an average score of 207.25.

They were able to practice and compete with kids from China, the Philippines, and all over the country. What a thrilling experience!

So proud of our hard-working students! Our small school walked away from the Tennessee History Day competition with five medals - two first place, one second, and two third place finishers! Half of our participating students are headed to Washington D.C. in June to compete in the National History Day competition! Medal or not, every member of this outstanding team produced an amazing website, documentary, performance, or exhibit! Bravo, Summit Seekers! 🙌🏻

Join us tomorrow at Pyros Pizza from 5pm-close to support our students attending VEX Robotics World's Competition. Just say you're there for Endeavor Microschool and a portion of your bill will be donated to paying for the competition and travel expenses. We'll see you there!

We are so excited to be in Nashville this weekend supporting our middle school students in the Tennessee History Day (NHD state competition)! All six of our participants placed first or second at the regional competition and have worked so improve their projects since that time. These students have poured countless hours into their historical research, crafted powerful historical arguments, and created outstanding exhibits, websites, a documentary, and an individual performance! We are thrilled for them to have a chance to showcase their learning!

Do you want to support our students AND eat delicious pizza? Come to Pyros on April 21st and a percentage of your bill will be donated to Endeavor students' trip to VEX Robotics World's Competition. We look forward to seeing you there!

The VEX IQ Robotics State Championship was a blast! Both of our robotics teams (middle school and elementary) made it to the finals in the teamwork challenge (5th place and 4th place) in our first year! The elementary team was also 2nd in robot skills and won the Excellence Award.

Both teams (and our cheering section) make great cameos in the state video!

🌎🤖 Support Our Student Engineers on the World Stage!

Our elementary robotics team is headed to the VEX World Robotics Championships in St. Louis, MO, and they’re looking for sponsors to help make this incredible opportunity possible!

These talented students will compete alongside teams from around the globe — including China, Australia, Canada, and Europe — working together in fast-paced, one-minute challenges that require teamwork, communication, and innovation. It’s an amazing experience that builds real-world STEM skills (and it’s pretty cool to watch, too!).

We’re inviting businesses and friends to partner with us on this journey! In return for your sponsorship, your business/name will be recognized in our team pit area at the event. We’d love to share the exciting work of our student engineers with your team also.

👉 Check out the attached flyer for sponsorship details and how to get involved.

Thank you for supporting the next generation of innovators! 💡✨

Service-oriented learning is part of the character-building traits weaved into the fabric of our microschool. Last week, our youngest students paid a visit to the Collierville Animal Shelter to deliver a project they’ve worked on for a few weeks. With time allotted during school, known as “explorer labs”, they chose to learn to sew toys for the shelter dogs! 🐕‍🦺🦴🐾 What a sweet way to lift others while learning a terrific life skill! ☀️

We are SO proud of our Endeavor Microschool Summit Seekers and their efforts in VEX Robotics this year! Our middle school and elementary teams both qualified for the Robotics State Championship on February 28, and both scored in the top 5 in the state in robotics skills! They've developed grit, drive, humility, and optimism and learned how to design solutions, set goals, engage others in collaborative discussion, advocate for themselves, give and receive feedback, monitor their progress, and reflect on their experiences. They've developed skills in engineering design, coding, teamwork, and interviewing and secured sponsorships with community businesses. Perhaps most importantly, they've developed lasting friendships and helped train our younger students for future participation in competitive robotics. For a first-year program, we believe these students have accomplished remarkable things and set us on the right track for ongoing success in the future. We are incredibly grateful for our sponsors and everyone who has helped make these experiences possible! And we're looking forward to cheering our students on as they compete at the state tournament!
