VEX ROBOTICS

Post date: 14-Nov-2018 23:53:29

Our Fifth and Sixth Class pupils are participating in the VEX Robotic Challenge again this year

because the path towards a passion for STEM starts early.

Spark a curious mind before they decide that engineering "isn't cool".

Primary school is the most formative time in a young student's life. The best way to instill a lifelong interest in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) is to provide a fun, engaging, and hands-on opportunity to explore and experience it for themselves.

By its nature, the study of robotics inherently incorporates all four pillars of STEM. VEX IQ is a snap-together robotics system designed from the ground up to provide this opportunity to future engineers of all skill levels. By packaging advanced concepts into an accessible package, the system also naturally encourages teamwork, problem solving, and leadership for students as young as second grade!
