Competitions, expos, workshops, and annual watchlist
Roadrunner tracks robotics competitions, teacher STEM workshops, maker events, and school robotics opportunities near Gallup, McKinley County, Northwest New Mexico, Navajo, Zuni, Ramah-Navajo, and Four Corners programs.
This page tracks robotics competitions, STEM events, maker expos, and partner gatherings relevant to Four Corners classrooms and clubs. The watchlist includes regional FIRST, VEX/RECF, and Navajo/Zuni-area programs as well as Gallup-local meetups when they're scheduled. Some events are on a public watchlist before exact dates are confirmed — verify the date, registration window, eligibility, and travel logistics with the organizer before committing students. Tribal and partner-hosted events are not added until a current local source confirms them, so a single tribal website is never treated as a proxy for multiple offices. If your school or program runs a robotics event you'd like Roadrunner to demo, mentor, or support, send the date and audience at least two weeks ahead. The list is reviewed before each competition season and updated when partners share confirmed details.

Annual watchlist and planning leads
Every event is labeled by Roadrunner status and review date.
Statewide STEM competition pipeline and advisor network. Verify exact annual dates and event page before publishing as current.
Do not claim attendance or hosting without invitation and local partner permission. Do not treat one general tribal website as confirmation for all offices or events.
Potential teacher PD, demo, and student outreach path. Confirm details directly with NTU before listing a specific date.
Regional FRC events can inform teacher support, club pathways, and mentor relationships. Use the official event list for current dates.
Regional competition anchor for advanced robotics pathways and coach networking. Verify event-specific pages before publishing current dates.
Track RobotEvents for nearby qualifiers and Indigenous robotics support opportunities. Use event-specific URLs once dates are confirmed.
Good booth fit for Buddy, Pico, Magic Map demos, and teacher lead generation once exhibitor rules are confirmed.
This is not a scheduled public event until cadence, staffing, safety rules, visitor policy, and date are approved.
