We Make New Members Great, and Great Members CHAMPIONS
Silver Owl Robotics takes complete beginners, and using the SILVER OWL FRAMEWORK, turns them into brilliant engineers who compete in robotics at the HIGHEST LEVEL and get in to their dream university.
Whether you’re completely new to STEM, or already experienced, we’ll take your game to the next level.
Silver Owl Robotics gave me the opportunity to learn the foundations of coding, engineering, as well as develop my teamwork and problem solving skills.
These skills, combined with going through the intense competition environments, have helped me get accepted into my dream university Waterloo and surviving the tough computer science program.

Why Silver Owl Teams Are the Best
Extensive Coaching System
With a solid robotics masterclass, extensive coaching throughout the entire season, and world-class coaches who've competed in robotics at the highest level, we take anyone, even complete beginners, and turn them into killer engineers.
Member Obsession
Silver Owl Robotics makes sure our members are completely covered in terms of parts and supplies, coaching, and teams.
Want a new part for your robot? We get it immediately.
Want to come whenever you want and work for as long as you want? For high school members, we're open 24/7.
Stuck on something? Our coaches will help guide you out of any problem.
Great Environment
Silver Owl Robotics prioritizes QUALITY OVER quantity. We'd rather have less members and a more organized club with dedicated teams. NEVER feel like you're the only member on your team doing all the work again.
With a culture of dedication and excitement among our members, our club is a great place for aspiring engineers to hone their mechanical, robotics, and programming skills.
Working as a programmer, I was placed in a focused environment with like-minded peers all focused on making the best robot possible. This dedication for performance made Silver Owl instrumental to fleshing out my university applications with awards, and entering the program of my choice.
The intense teamwork also built connections and skills that enabled me to thrive in the computer engineering program. Strongly recommend joining Silver Owl for aspiring programmers and engineers.

Benefits of Joining
There are lots of reasons why students pursue Robotics & STEM education through Silver Owl Robotics.
University Applications
Most universities such as Waterloo, U of T, and McMaster all require a supplementary application for programs such as Computer Science and Engineering.
Being part of a high-performing robotics team will allow you or your child stand out from the competition.
Scholarships
Many scholarships look for strong extracurriculars and well-roundedness in their applicants. Silver Owl Robotics is one of the best extracurriculars you can have, as not only does it involve engineering, but also competition and collaboration.
Applying to scholarships can save a LOT of tuition money in university. Silver Owl will also be able to provide a reference letter if you request one.
Practical Experience
At Silver Owl Robotics, high school students passionate about STEM have the opportunity to gain hands-on, practical experience that directly contributes to their desired career paths.
By working with cutting-edge VEX robotics technology, members not only learn how to design, build, and program robots, but they also develop critical skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership.
Fun!
VEX Robotics competitions bring the joy, excitement, and competitive nature of tournaments to engineering. Teams decisively win or lose based on the amount of work they've put into their robots.
At Silver Owl Robotics, we have a fun and supportive environment where work is mixed with play.

Beginner Friendly, Yet Competitive
Learn About Our Two Main Member Profiles
Beginner
If you’re an absolute beginner and feel VEX Robotics might be too challenging or that you don’t have any experience, do NOT worry! Our club is great at accommodating beginners through our extensive training program and high-quality coaching. After going through our training, you’ll probably start off on a learning team so you and your teammates can learn the foundation of Vex Robotics together before you move to advanced.
Experienced
If you’re already experienced (have done VEX Robotics for at least one season) and decide to join, you’ll probably start off on a high-performing, experienced team. You should still attend part of our training program to make sure you have the proper foundation, as our lessons include insights and secrets that very few teams actually know.
Silver Owl Framework
At Silver Owl Robotics, we have one goal… Do robotics at the HIGHEST LEVEL. We want every member in our club to win tournament after tournament, award after award, and make it to the highest stage of Vex Robotics… Worlds.
Our 3 pillars to success are:
Extensive Coaching System
Our organized lesson and member onboarding system brings even complete beginners up to date with the foundations of build, design, and code.
We only hire world-class coaches who’ve competed themselves in VEX Robotics at the highest level, and coached world-class teams.
When you join Silver Owl, our coaches spend a ton of time with you and your team for the entire season, on every single aspect of the Vex competition: Building, Design, Programming, and Game Strategy.
Member Obsession
Silver Owl Robotics is obsessed about getting fantastic results in robotics. We make sure our members are completely covered in parts and supplies, coaching, and teams.
Our club is open almost all the time, even throughout most holidays, so you can come whenever you want and work for as long as you want. We don’t want anything to hold back you and your team from fulfilling your full potential.
Great Environment
Silver Owl Robotics prioritizes QUALITY OVER quantity. We’d rather have less members who are more passionate about robotics, promoting a more organized club and great club culture.
Our club feels like a tight-knit community… our members share ideas and insights among each other constantly. You’re able to ask other members questions when in doubt and receive advice instantly. You also join our community server, an interactive online community.
In our club, you get to work in a focused-driven and passionate environment, network with other aspiring engineers, make new friends and connections, and most importantly, have FUN while being productive.
