BELMONT —Belmont High School will be hosting a VEX Robotics Competition on Saturday, Dec. 10. The event is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Qualifying rounds will be held until 2 p.m., elimination rounds begin at 3 p.m., and the finals round starts at 4 p.m.

In the VEX Competitions, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, teams of students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play against other teams from around the world in a game-based engineering challenge. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test on the playing field as students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more. Tournaments are held year-round at the regional, state, and national levels; local champions go on to compete against the best in the world at VEX Worlds each April.
