PCA Robotics | Inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders
PCA Robotics at Plymouth Christian Academy is a dynamic, Christ-centered STEM program designed to inspire students to become innovative thinkers, problem-solvers, and leaders. Serving students from elementary through high school, our program blends engineering, technology, teamwork, and outreach to create a hands-on learning experience that extends far beyond the classroom. In addition to our competitive teams and extracurricular opportunities, robotics and engineering concepts are intentionally integrated into classroom instruction, allowing students to engage with STEM principles during the school day while developing critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving skills.
Our Programs
Elementary Robotics (Grades 4–6)
Elementary students are introduced to foundational robotics concepts through engaging, project-based learning. They design, build, and program robots while developing creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. We are currently redesigning our elementary robotics program to better align with our middle and high school robotics pathways, ensuring a cohesive and developmentally appropriate progression for students.
Middle School Robotics (FTC)
Middle school students on Team 21518 "The Atomic Toasters" and Team 32131 "Atomic Eagles" participate in competitive robotics, designing and programming autonomous and driver-controlled robots. They learn engineering design principles, coding, documentation, and teamwork while preparing for competition.
High School Robotics (FRC)
Our high school team, Team 4405 “The Atoms Family,” competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), an international program that challenges students to design, build, and program an industrial-size robot in just six weeks.
