"MCA Robotics is quietly one of the strongest and highest performing programs we have in the building, and Owen Marvel (class of 2022) has been a key part of its success for years.
With nine consecutive trips to the State tournament, two trips all the way to Worlds (placing in the Top 24 out of ~6,000 teams at one outing), and too many instances of awards and recognition to list that extend beyond the arena into areas such as community outreach, Robotics at MCA is an unstoppable force that is also about so much more than just building a robot."
Hear from the Marvel family about our Robotics program and why it's about so much more than building a robot.

Lower School features introductory robotics and coding clubs focused on foundational mechanics and logic.
Middle School features competitive developmental teams (e.g., FIRST LEGO League).
Students begin learning structured engineering processes and competition strategies.
High School features advanced competitive teams (e.g., FIRST Robotics Competition or FIRST Tech Challenge).
Participation at this level requires a formal application, strict academic eligibility, and a significant time commitment during the competitive build and travel season.
