Mustang Public Schools Robotics Program: Building Skills for the Future

Mustang Public Schools offers a robust robotics program that gives students access to experiences that integrate applied STEM through problem solving, coding, and engineering innovation. Doing so helps them develop a wide range of skills crucial for their future academic and professional success. In addition, robotics provides a hands-on platform where students can see science, technology, engineering, and math concepts come to life, moving beyond textbook theory to practical application.

MPS’s robotics program provides a clear, connected pathway for students from elementary through high school. By providing different entry points, more students can get involved regardless of their initial skill level.

High School: Reaching New Heights (Grades 9-12)

Our high school program is vertically aligned to prepare students for rigorous academic and professional environments.

• Focused Competition: Embedded in the highly competitive First Robotics Competition (FRC) program, Mustang High School’s Advanced Robotics course sequence prepares students for rigorous academic and professional environments, emphasizing engineering design, advanced programming, project management, fundraising, and community outreach. This allows students to deepen their STEM expertise, knowledge and experience beyond what is possible with First Tech Challenge (FTC), equipping students with valuable real-world skills.   
• Oklahoma Career Tech Program: Mustang High School robotics is a four year Career Tech STEM program in which students receive dual credits in computer programming and engineering design courses each year. Third and fourth year students in the program have the opportunity to test for college credit in AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A.
• STEM Mentors and Corporate Partners: FRC robotics is a mentor-based program. Adult STEM professionals work directly with Mustang High School student team members on the robotics challenge. Mentors provide support for all aspects of the project including team management. Many mentors are associated with corporate partners who provide financial support for our program as well. 
• Student Outreach: Our students are required to organize community service and outreach activities both STEM related and non-STEM related.

Investing in the Future:

The Mustang Public Schools Robotics Program is committed to shaping the next generation of innovators and leaders. By investing in these programs, we empower students to acquire critical skills, pursue their passions, and achieve their full potential.
