CyberKnights Robotics

Kimberlin’s CyberKnights robotics team was started in 2015. Third, fourth and fifth graders try out for the team and have an opportunity to practice after school on Thursdays. Teams work together to build a robot which will compete in VEX IQ tournaments.

Each team designs their robot to score the maximum number of points during the game. They also work on programming the robots to run by themselves. Tournaments are set up so that all teams must work together in order to score the most points.

Our first Kimberlin robotics students competed at VEX IQ Worlds and are now at Austin Academy. Those students return to Kimberlin to mentor our students by helping with robot design and builds, programming, and skills challenges. 

K-Kids

K-Kids is a community service organization for fourth and fifth grade Knights. We are sponsored by the Rowlett Kiwanis Club. Our goal is to develop leadership potential by working together in service to our school and community. Through this service, our members get hands-on experience working as a team, practicing empathy, and also learn creative ways to make a positive impact in the world around us.

Some of our monthly projects have included planting flowers around our school, making sandwiches for the homeless, reading with kindergarten students, welcoming students and staff upon arrival, and creating motivational grocery bags for a food pantry.

Meetings are held monthly at 7:30am on our campus. Parents are encouraged to keep an eye out on ClassDojo for information about joining and details about our first meeting in September, 2024.

Sponsors: Charlotte Ballard and Brandy Danyluk

The K-Kids’ pledge:

“As a K-Kid, I promise to serve my neighborhood and my school; I will show respect toward my environment; and I will try to make the world a better place in which to live.”
