Welcome to the 2026 Show Me Gateway Signature Event!
Join us for the Show Me Gateway Signature Event, for the 2nd time held at the St. Charles Convention Center. This event is a collaborative effort powered by Gateway Science Academy of St. Louis, Reeds Spring Schools, and Frontier Schools, and is designed to offer a high-quality experience for teams, coaches, and families.
This event is designed to attract high-performing VEX IQ Robotics Competition™ teams from across country and beyond. With a championship-style setup inspired by the 2027 VEX Robotics World Championship™, the event will include elevated fields, pit areas, a formal team procession, and a well-organized layout.
The competition will be supported by a team of world-class and dedicated volunteers to ensure a smooth, fair, and engaging experience for all participants.
This year, we're proud to share that teams from both VEX IQ Robotics Competition™ Elementary and Middle School will be able to register for Show Me Gateway and compete in a blended tournament format.
