HawkBots - Skyline Middle School

Do you know a student who will be in 8th–12th grade at Skyline Middle or High School next year? We’re currently accepting applications for our High School Robotics Team—but time is running out!

We’re looking for more than just coders and builders. Our team also needs students interested in fundraising, social media, art, and photography. It takes a wide range of talents to build a successful team.

Please share the QR code with anyone who might be interested in joining an amazing group doing incredible things!

Applications close at midnight on April 10, so don’t wait—apply today!

It is official! We are expanding into Skyline High School! We have just opened up applications to apply to the Competition Team. We start this year, and will compete next school year. The High School team is open to students who will be in 8th-12th grade for the 26-27 School year.

Lots of roles available to apply for. We have Technical (Mechanical/Software/Electrical), Strategy (Driver, Strategist, Scout), and Organization and Outreach (Captain, Drafter, Writer, Marketing, Bookkeeper, Fundraising, Social Media).

If you are someone, or know of someone that will be at Skyline Middle or Skyline High in these grade levels, that may be interested, make sure to apply and/or share!

Thank you Anthony's Pizza X and Brandy/Blake's family for helping us keep up our energy by feeding our VEX Competition Teams on Thursdays. We've definitely been enjoying our family meals while preparing for our upcoming competition!

Our SeaPerch ROV kits and Tool kits have arrived. Thank you RoboNation for supporting our Robotics program! I can't wait to share this program with our students!

Thank you Garcia & Gavino for accepting a last minute order and providing us an amazing breakfast spread for our Competition VEX Robotics teams this morning. The kids really enjoyed their breakfast this morning and all of the kids tried everything and discovered new likes. You all are amazing!

Thank you Gr***de Hippie for designing our team t shirts! We are so excited about them. In the words of one of our students:
"Those are sick!"

Google and the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation have extended an invitation to Prince William County Schools students to attend the workshop during our day off on Monday, November 3!

The Google Data Center in Virginia is hosting a free robotics workshop field trip for middle school students in grades 6, 7, and 8, on Monday, November 3rd, 2025 from 8:00am to 3:00pm at the Sweeney Barn in Manassas.

During the event, students will work together in small groups to form a team, build a robot, and participate in a friendly competition with students from other schools in our area. Students will have an opportunity to hear stories from leaders in their local community while working side-by-side with Googlers, and will be provided with breakfast and lunch.

The curriculum for this workshop is specifically designed for students with no robotics experience, and uses the VEX Robotics EXP equipment to align with ISTE standards, making it a fun, hands-on activity for students who are interested in STEM.

Parents can sign their students up on the event website (link below), and registration is open through October 31 at 11:00am. Space is limited.
