The Vex Robotics Design System is an award winning product line that has
been used by more than 140,000 students worldwide.
VEX helps students unlock the power of their imagination by designing and
constructing radio-controlled and autonomous robotic devices that can lift, throw, climb,
gather and expand the boundaries of experimental intelligence.
By working together to create robots that perform exciting challenges, students also gain valuable problem-solving and team-building skills. The
customized Classroom Lab packages were developed using feedback from
teachers, schools and districts throughout the country that have integrated
hands-on robotics programs into their classrooms. |

What does this mean to you as an educator?
It means that the VEX Robotics Design System provides an all-in-one solution for bringing a robotics curriculum to your school. The three primary fields of robotics are mechanical, electronic, and software engineering. With the VEX system all of these fields are explored, challenging students to utilize every aspect to complete projects and accomplish goals. Extensive documentation on hosting in-class competitions and a massive network of national and global competitions are readily available. Establishing projects with an end goal and a competition to test the student's work promotes thinking outside the box and teamwork as well as a sense of accomplishment. |
