Girl Powered Workshops are virtual or small in-person events hosted by our community with a goal to engage and inform young women about STEM and robotics opportunities they might not be aware of.

Teachers, coaches, event partners, and mentors are invited to host their own Girl Powered Workshop this October in honor of International Day of the Girl (October 11, 2021).

Be sure to share your event and any socially distanced and/or virtual unboxing videos with us on social media by using #GirlPowered for a chance to be featured. Tag @RECFoundation and @VEXRobotics!

Note: Event organizers are responsible for distributing materials to event attendees.

Event Partners can register their Girl Powered Workshops at RobotEvents.com.

2025-2026 Signature Event Updates

  1. An Event Partner wanting to apply to host a Signature Event must have hosted events for at least 2 seasons prior to applying. 
  2. Signature Events must use the officially branded award banners for the Excellence Award and Tournament/Teamwork Champions Award.
  3. When hanging field skirts the VEX Robotics logo/brand name can not be covered up on the competition fields.
  4. VEX V5 Robotics Competition Signature Events may have regional capacity and max per organization restrictions lifted 8 weeks before the event if the event is not full (similar to the process already in place for VEX IQ Robotics Competition Signature Events).
  5. Minimum pit size reduced to 8’x 8’ instead of 10’x10’.
  6. Beginning in the 2025-2026 season, the REC Foundation will collect $10 instead of $5 per team registration on all Signature Events. This is to help offset travel costs for REC Foundation staff to support these larger events.
