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.
