Good afternoon,


As we head into summer planning, here are some upcoming events to keep in mind. The off-season includes many outreach activities, and all students are encouraged to participate. That said, we understand this is also a time for work, travel, and other fun activities. We do ask that students make every effort to be available during our Junior Bot summer camps, as these are a major fundraiser for our 2026 season.


Robotics @ Iowa Trivia Night

Join us for a fun evening supporting the Robotics @ Iowa program as they fundraise for their upcoming competition. We’ll be demoing our robot, and students are free to participate. Family and friends can attend for $10. It’s a great way to explore future STEM opportunities and connect with alumni.

📆 Date: May 7th

⏰ Time: 6:30 PM

📍 Location: Big Grove, Iowa City


End of Season Picnic

Celebrate the end of our 2025 Reefscape season at Penn Meadows Park! This is a potluck for team members and families. We’ll be handing out Corny Awards and recognizing our graduating seniors. (Rain location: KRC)

📆 Date: June 21st

⏰ Time: 6:00 PM

📍 Location: Penn Meadows Park, North Liberty


Iowa City Block Party (Regional Fundraiser)

We’ll be working the registration/info table at the Iowa City Block Party. This is a fundraiser for our 2026 regional costs. We need 10 volunteers, and each participant will receive $45 toward regional or off-season event fees. Open to both students and parents.

📆 Date: June 28th

⏰ Time: 5:30 PM

📍 Location: Downtown Iowa City


Junior Bot Summer Camps

Save the dates:

  • June 23–26

  • August 11–14 Camps run 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM. We’ll share shift sign-ups and volunteer training info with students later in May.


Rock River Robotics Offseason Event 

This one-day event replicates a mini regional. It's a great chance to explore new roles, try driving, and sharpen mechanical skills. No cost to attend—just bring money for lunch or concessions.

📆Date:July 26th

📍 Location:Rock Valley College
