Hands-On STEM Learning
VEX IQ Competition immerses students in designing, building, and coding robots, providing practical experience with real-world engineering concepts.
Teamwork & Collaboration:
Students work together to solve challenges, enhancing communication skills and learning the value of cooperation toward a common goal.
Engineering Design Process
Through educational robotics, students engage in the engineering design process, learning to work within constraints, identify multiple solutions to problems, and iterate to find the best possible solution. This process sharpens valuable skills in problem-solving, troubleshooting, research and development, invention, and innovation.
Fostering Creativity, Teamwork, and Leadership
Beyond the technical skills, our program encourages creativity, teamwork, leadership, passion, and problem-solving. By giving students real choices in their learning through educational robotics, we boost their engagement and motivation, allowing them to feel a sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
Creative Problem-Solving
Each season’s game requires innovative thinking and iterative design, encouraging participants to test, troubleshoot, and refine their strategies.
Competitive Fun
Students experience the excitement of robotics competitions, building confidence and resilience as they face new challenges in an engaging, supportive environment.
