What is VEX IQ?

VEX IQ is an innovative, STEM-focused platform that introduces students to the robots. Using easy-to-assemble robots and intuitive coding software, VEX IQ allows students to design, build, and program their own robots. The system is designed for young learners, making it the perfect entry point for children interested in robotics and technology.

What Will Your Child Learn?

  • Engineering Principles: Through hands-on construction, your child will learn the basics of mechanical design, understanding how gears, levers, and sensors work together to create functional robots.
  • Coding and Programming: Using block-based coding (and transitioning to text-based coding as they advance), students will learn how to program their robots to perform various tasks, fostering logical thinking and computational skills
  • Teamwork and Collaboration: VEX IQ encourages collaborative learning, where students work in teams to solve challenges, share ideas, and improve their designs, helping them develop essential communication and teamwork skills.
  • Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: Each robotics challenge encourages students to think critically and creatively to find solutions, promoting perseverance and a growth mindset  
  • Competition: For those interested, the program also offers the opportunity to participate in VEX IQ competitions, where students can showcase their creations and compete against other teams in exciting challenges.  

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to give your child a head start in technology and innovation.
