Any Robotics Enthusiasts in the Area?

Come check out the Vex Robotics competition being held at VTC's Judd gym on Saturday, February 2nd. Competitions will run from 9-4. Come as a guest and see this exciting STEM learning environment. There will also be opportunities to learn from other teams and other educators who have been doing VEX for a long time.

VEX is a growing upper elementary, middle school and high school robotics program globally with more than 20,000 teams from 50 countries playing in over 1,700 competitions worldwide. This is VTC's first official competition, though they did host a practice competition last year.

Education STEM Solutions will also be on hand to run some "build and play" seminars with both the VEX IQ and VEX-VRC platform, featuring the new V5 control system.
