VEX Robotics

VEX Robotics presents an engineering challenge in the form of a game. Students, with guidance from their coach and student mentors, use the VEX Robotics Design System to build innovative robots designed to score the most points possible in qualification matches, bracket elimination, and skills challenges. Students learn valuable engineering skills, gain life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, communication, collaboration, project management, and critical thinking. The VEX Robotics Competition prepares students to become future innovators in STEM subject areas and increase their interest in pursuing STEM-related careers. This is a competition team and students must apply to participate in the selection process. There is a limited number of positions available.
