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 2019-2020
Primary School: VEX IQ 2019-2020
