Testimonials

“I'm so impressed with the Homeschool Robotics Team and all the things they learn including Organization structure, Leadership, Project Management, Teamwork and Team Dynamics, Design and Build, Maintenance—and Operations. Watching the team perform at competition is a real joy. Robotics—and [the] BEST competition is a great learning opportunity for the team.”

Jeffery Turner

Former CEO of Spirit AeroSystems

“Wichita Homeschool Robotics is a training ground for engineering, science, marketing, and just overall business professionalism. I would recommend robotics to anyone who wants a challenge, wants a community, or wants to learn how to solve realistic problems in a fun experience. Even if you don’t want to pursue engineering or business, the opportunity, and lessons you learn are so much deeper than that.”

Joshua Maxton

Former Student President

“When I first joined the team, I didn’t fully grasp the immense impact it would have on my life. I learned that Wichita Homeschool Robotics doesn’t just build robots; it builds knowledge and character into the lives of its students. This experience has not only enhanced my technical skills but has also shaped my character, teaching me the value of resilience and perseverance.”

Jeremiah Schlittenhardt

Current Student President
