Conroe ISD high school students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math can apply their strengths to something that has long been a figment of the imagination, but now a reality in today’s society: Robots.

Since 2010, the Texas Torque Robotics Team has tackled a new challenge every year, in which they have several weeks to create a robot which they then enter in various competitions that lead to the robotic World Championships in St. Louis.

The Texas Torque team is student led in nearly all aspects and deals with designing, constructing, and operating a robot as well as providing community outreach in the forms of volunteering, demos, and robotics camps for elementary and middle school children. Students on the team are generally from The Woodlands area, however, it is open to all high school students in the Conroe Independent School District and surrounding areas. Past and present team members have come from the Academy of Science and Technology, The Woodlands High School, The Woodlands College Park, Oak Ridge, as well as home schooled students. click here for complete story
