For all the Lego enthusiasts out there, the Vintage Hills PTA runs a multi-year Lego Robotics Club.

This year we’re running 3 sections, which occur all year long:

The sections progress from building simple models, to designing and programming lego robots, and are a great opportunity for Vintage Hills students.

This is a parent-run club organized through the Vintage Hills PTA.  The clubs will meet every Wednesday from 3pm to 4pm. First session begins on Sept 17.
Sign up is done through this Future Fund page on a first come, first served basis.

The club has a $75 fee.  The fees are used to invest in new kits as well as replacement parts and batteries for the kits.

Scholarships are available to cover the fee. To apply, go here: Scholarship Form. You will be refunded the fee if your child is awarded a scholarship.

Note: There is no Club C this year.  We may offer Club C in future years if we can get parent club leaders.  In past years, in Club C students worked independently to build more complicated robots using MINDSTORM EV3 kits and control them via Scratch, a graphical programming language.

The first meeting will be on Wednesday, September 17th, 2025.  This will be a year-long club, ending on Wednesday, May 13th, 2026  See detailed schedule.

Club D will be co-lead by 5th-grader parents Nitin Verma and Igor Ginzburg.  Igor is also the contact person for Lego Robotics overall.  Please contact him with any questions.

Club B will be co-lead by 4rd-grader parents Swetha Gunnala and Swetha Gunti.

Club A will be co-lead by 2nd grade parents Katrina Wright and Mya Papolu.

As this is a parent-run club, for each student in the club we need one parent/adult to commit to come to at least 4 club meetings to help us supervise the students throughout the year.  The goal is to have at least one 1 club leader plus 2 parent volunteers there each week.  The parent volunteers will need to have Level 2 volunteer clearance before their first volunteer day.  If you don’t already have Level 2 clearance, you will need to complete the PUSD Volunteer Clearance process which includes “Live Scan fingerprinting” and TB clearance.  Live Scan fingerprinting costs around $69.  Financial assistance is available.

Once your student is enrolled through this Future Fund page, please sign up for FOUR parent volunteer days via Signup Genius.  You must sign up and attend your 4 volunteer days for your student to stay in the club.

On the evening after the last club meeting (Wednesday, May 13th, 2026) we will have an adult-only “Kit Cleanup Night”.  Each student must have at least one parent/adult attend the Kit Cleanup Night, and stay until their student’s kit is restored to good-as-new condition with all parts in place.

When registering, make sure to use an email address that you check regularly.  We will use the address for important announcements throughout the year, and to get early access to next year’s club sections.
