Diamond in the Desert

Diamond in the Desert is a premier STEM and robotics signature event that brings together top Elementary, Middle School, and High School VEX teams from across the country and around the world. Over four days, students dive into hands-on engineering, coding, and problem-solving as they showcase their robots in a high-energy, world-class competition environment. Teams will demonstrate every part of the engineering design process—from brainstorming and building to programming, testing, and refining. Students also participate in judged events, such as engineering notebooks and team interviews, which highlight communication, documentation, and teamwork. Families, volunteers, and STEM partners are invited to join this celebration of innovation as young engineers come together to compete, collaborate, and inspire the future of STEM. December 28 - 31
