EXPLORE STEM THROUGH VEX ROBOTICS

CODE, CREATE, IMAGINE

Our hands-on STEM program invites students in grades K–2 and 3–5 to bring their ideas to life. Meeting once a week, participants use VEX 123 or VEX GO kits. Through fun challenges and projects, they explore engineering and coding while developing logic, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Whether navigating obstacle courses or completing missions, students discover how exciting and rewarding STEM learning can be.

CODE & GO WITH VEX 123

Young inventors explore the exciting world of robotics using VEX 123 robots and LEGO SPIKE Essential! Through fun challenges, storytelling, and hands-on building and play, students in grades K–2 learn the basics of coding, sequencing, problem-solving, and teamwork as they bring their ideas to life.

Students will use the VEX 123 robot to practice simple coding and logical thinking, then transition to LEGO SPIKE Essential, where they design and build their own creations using familiar LEGO pieces and beginner-friendly coding. This combination encourages creativity, collaboration, and confidence while introducing core computer science and engineering concepts in an age-appropriate way.
