Vex IQ: Take educational robotics to the next level!
VEX IQ is a robotics platform designed to transform the STEM learning paradigm for young students and their teachers (grades 4-8). The world needs more problem-solving leaders, which means that we need more students excited about STEM. If students aren’t given opportunities to learn when they’re young how much fun engineering can be, how will they know if it’s something that interests them? When students have the ability to jump right in and snap robots together using this intuitive tool-less system, it can unlock a curiosity and a passion that will stay with them for life. Follow step-by-step instructions to build your first robot, then expand upon it to build whatever you can imagine. No experience needed to start building! Parents and teachers love the hands-on, project based lessons teach the engineering process in a uniquely engaging way. Flexible lesson plans can be adapted to meet the level of students' abilities. Beyond robotics, students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more. If you're not looking for a hands-on project based learning experience, this is not for you! Under regular circumstances, students could put classroom concepts to the test in a global engineering challenge through participation in hundreds of competition events held annually around the world..
