ABOUT GOLDEN GEARS

Robotics at North Hills Middle School

Golden Gears gives middle-school students a place to turn ideas into mechanisms, software, strategy, and a competition-ready robot. Students learn by building, testing, troubleshooting, and improving together.

Our goal is bigger than a single robot: confidence, curiosity, teamwork, and practical STEM skills that students can carry into high school and beyond.
