2026 RoboPlay Competition

RoboPlay Competition is a level-playing field robotics competition with a focus on applying math to solve real-world problems. It provides an opportunity for K-12 students to showcase their math problem-solving skills, creativity, and teamwork skills.

RoboPlay Competition typically takes place during a school day for approximately a half-day in the morning, afternoon, or evening in an appropriately-sized venue in the hosting district.  Some schools/districts prefer to hold it on a Saturday.

Each academic year, C-STEM will provide challenge tasks (challenges) and solution videos for various grade levels. To ensure fairness, these challenges will only be provided to District contacts who oversee the organization of the RoboPlay Competitions.  School districts that host RoboPlay Competitions may submit their student teams' scores to be ranked statewide.  Once the academic year is over, the challenges will be posted for teachers to access and utilize in classes.
