Teams from Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Kentucky will take part in the event aimed at sparking interest among women in STEM fields.
The competition involves a game called STEAMWORKS, which features robots shooting five-inch whiffle balls into a 21-inch diameter goal. Teams can also score points by having robots place a gear-shaped game piece onto a flexible peg, then moving them onto another assembly. A final challenge involves robots climbing a rope.
The IndyRAGE competition will also feature discussion panels on diversity, inclusion and breaking down barriers. RAGE stands for Raising Awareness for Girls in Engineering.
