(G4-8)VEX IQ 2, Fri 4:30-6pm

About the Course

VEX IQ is based on plastic, snap-together pieces specifically designed to build highly functional robots. This system doesn’t require any prior knowledge in robotics. Students can easily build their first robot, and the wide variety of additional parts means that they can build anything they imagine as they continue to learn. VEX Foundation has a total of 36 hour learning that is split into 2 semesters. 1. Introduction to Robotics: Basics of robotics, components of a robot, and understanding the VEX IQ system. 2. Programming Skills: Teaching students how to program the VEX IQ robot using a programming language suitable for their skill level. This may include graphical programming interfaces or text-based coding. 3. Robot Building: Hands-on activities for building and assembling VEX IQ robots. This involves understanding mechanical structures, using sensors, and implementing various mechanisms. 4. Engineering Design Process: Emphasizing the importance of the engineering design process in creating functional and efficient robots. This includes problem-solving, planning, building, testing, and refining.
