About the MCC Robotics Competition Program
The focus of the Manchester Community College Robotics is 5th-12th grade students in the greater Manchester area, especially women and minorities. Our program is part of the Girl Powered initiative to recruit more women for STEM.
Building Competitive Robotics Teams
MCC Robotics has worked with schools and organizations around the state to create new robotics teams. MCC has hosted several robotics competitions and workshops to support these teams. The program sent many teams to compete at the VEX World Championship.
Goals
- Support the new robotics teams created by the Governor’s NH Robotics Education Development Program and teach them how to be sustainable with proper training and professional development for mentors and teachers.
- Grow the number of VEX robotics teams in NH.
- Create new opportunities for students to have hands-on experiences with robots, whether through demonstrations or team competitions.
- Empower and incentivize the program’s mentors and coaches with resources to effectively run the programs at their schools, as well as remove as many financial barriers as possible.

*DAVE KELLY was a robotics mentor for both FIRST and VEX Robotics for over 30 years. He passed away in 2022 after a long battle with ALS. One of his goals was to raise enough sponsorship money for the NH/VT State Championship to help reduce the cost of the VEX World Championship for teams that qualify. The Dave Kelly Commitment to Excellence Award pays the registration fee for award winners!
