VEX Robot

What is VEX robotics and how can it help students learn science, technology, engineering and math?

Students can participate in a STEM-based extracurricular program that challenges the students to build their own VEX robots and enter them in an organized competitive event. Students learn and use engineering and mathematics principles while working on their robotic designs. Through VEX competitions students have fun exploring new technology while mastering science, engineering and mathematics principles.
