Lakeside's Mad Scientist Club competes in 2 major robotic competitions. Vex and First Robotics each give a different challenge every year. The teams then compete with other teams locally in hopes of getting to state. Winning team from state advances to Nationals and World. Along the way, students learn designing, building, coding, and real engineering processes that are utilized in the "real" world.
Achievements
2013-2014 - Lakeside enters its first competition - First Tech - result - cannot build a working robot in time for competition dates
2014-2015 - Lakeside enters its first competition in Vex - result - achieves quarterfinals win that would have advanced to state competition
2015-2016 - Lakeside enters 2 teams for Vex - result 1 team reaches Semi-Finals win that would have advanced to state competition
Lakeside enters rookie team for First Robotics - result - reaches semi finals among a field of hardy competitors - many that have
