VEX Robotics 

In the VEX IQ Competition, teams of students, comprised of 4th and 5th graders, are tasked with designing and building a robot to play with other teams in a game-based engineering challenge. Teams must design, build, and program a robot using VEX IQ® Robotics technology, then compete on a playing field. It all adds up to tons of fun while they learn to apply science, technology, engineering, and math concepts (STEM), plus a big dose of imagination, to solve a problem. Along their discovery journey, they develop critical thinking and team-building skills, basic STEM applications, and even presentation skills, as they must present their Robot with a dash of creativity to judges.
