Our world championship qualifying mentors teach students through interactive lessons and hands-on projects and competitions. Rising 6th to 9th graders are eligible and registrations close on May 30th (maybe earlier, depending on signup availability).

Novice

9th or 10th Grade

Novice Program
This is a competitive year-long program for DVHS Freshmen and Sophomores that has an acceptance rate of 25-40%. It's facilitated by our Directors of Education, who create lessons and tournament challenges while teaching VEX V5 (the newest system). Students who make it through both semester-long parts of the program are usually placed on one of the competitive teams and have lots of fun throughout this process. Most accepted individuals are 9th graders.
