Constantly building relationships and crafting events that serve a purpose!

Fun In The Sun Robotics Education & Competition Foundation Signature Event  (Jan 2nd - 4th 2026)

www.funinthesunrobotics.com

The January 2–4, 2026 event at the Hyatt Regency Orlando marked our largest and most impactful competition to date, welcoming over 1,000 attendees and 140 teams. Building on the success of our 2024 event—which hosted 86 teams from four countries (United States, Canada, Malaysia, and Kyrgyzstan), 10 U.S. states, and over 800 attendees—this year’s growth highlights the increasing global reach and influence of our program.

As a premier VEX IQ signature event, teams competed for the opportunity to qualify for the VEX Robotics World Championship—an incredible achievement and a dream for these young innovators. Beyond competition, the event continues to inspire and empower the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders.

This event also serves as our largest annual fundraiser, helping sustain and expand opportunities for students in robotics and STEM education.
