(G4-8) VEX IQ Advanced Engineering
This advanced robotics course takes students beyond the basics, focusing on mastering the art of robot building through ambitious, hands-on engineering projects. Learners will design and construct sophisticated mechanisms such as linear slider arms, omni-directional drive systems, and hybrid manipulators, while gaining deep insight into structural integrity, gear optimization, and mechanical efficiency. Through iterative testing, troubleshooting, and refinement, students will sharpen their design thinking and engineering precision. By the end of the course, they’ll be equipped with the skills and confidence to build high-performance robots for competitive challenges and real-world problem solving in STEM.
