Welcome to Robotics Education Ireland!

VEX Robotics is an exciting and fun program where school children from 8-18 years learn about Science Technology Engineering and Maths (STEM) while having fun! They design, build, program and compete with their robot in a spectacular competition organised by Dell.

In addition to STEM the students acquire other skills such as project management, presentation skills, teamwork, leadership, PR and much more.

There are two divisions of the competition currently being run in Ireland, VEX IQ and VEX EDR. VEX IQ is primary school level while VEX EDR is secondary school level. Each year there is a new challenge and students must work as a team to design, build, program and drive their Robot.

The Games for this year are:

Secondary School: VEX EDR 2018-2019

Primary School: VEX IQ 2018-2019

We will NOT be searching for teams - Teams will be called by team number ONLY on the day - Judges will visit the pits during the day and will ask the students about all aspects of the program, including STEM projects. • Pit Information: The height of this is 2.4m. It’s made up of 3 partitions and a table in front to place the robot, laptop, notebooks etc… • Check in Desk: All teams need to check in on arrival at the CIT Student Centre, schools should aim to be checked in by 9am sharp to allow the teams queue for robot inspection. Please drop your Engineering Notebook to the Check-In desk in the morning. This can be collected at the end of the day. • Dining Facilities: The CIT Bistro will be open on the day as well as the tuck shop. Students can of course bring their own lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided for teachers in a room off the event. • Please be aware that this event will be photographed and there will be videos/photos on social media and other media platforms on the day. • For students/teachers tweeting on the day please also include the hashtag: #DellCITVEX and tag us @vexireland • If you have any photos from the past couple of months please send them on to our Facebook page (VEX Robotics Ireland) where we can share them.
