The 2024 VEX Robotics Educators Conference welcomed all varieties of education professionals to learn and grow their STEM and CS knowledge! We had the opportunity to meet with Mia Espinoza and Loraine Orta from the Beaumont Children's Museum and found out how they're integrating robotics with their own programs. See more highlights from the conference at conference.vex.com or see recordings from the event on VEX PD+ at pd.vex.com!

Great video recap supporting Inclusion in CS Education. Want to dive deeper? Check out Maya Israel session: Inclusivity in Computer Science Education from our #VEXRobotics Educators Conference straight from your PD+ Dashboard.
We are proud to support inclusion in computer science education through initiatives like the implementation of VEX 123 robotics into the special education class at Apollo Middle School in Broward County. The interactivity of VEX 123 helps students connect with their learning material and apply what they learn to a physical robot. Learn more here: https://buff.ly/3ryW5Rt Estamos orgullosos de ver la robótica VEX 123 implementada en la clase de educación especial de Apollo Middle School. La interactividad de VEX 123 ayuda a los estudiantes a conectarse con su material de aprendizaje y aplicar las enseñanzas. Aprende más aquí: https://buff.ly/3PUneru

Giving our children the best opportunities in life is every parent's top priority. Robotics can be an excellent way to get kids interested in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) from an early age. This cutting-edge field allows kids to develop a wide range of valuable skills in an engaging, hands-on way. Here are 5 compelling reasons why you should get your child involved in robotics.

What’s your definition of quality education in a technology-driven world ? To Me it involves practical applications, as demonstrated by my students from Appris Grande Academy. Their recent robotics project showcased innovation, with Year 3-5 students constructing a car, and Year 7 students both building and programming a simulation of a traffic light system. Although I can’t post the demonstration video on this post I will do that one the next #qualityeducation #sdg4

Below, Brandon chronicles the performance of the Mary Our Queen robotics program at a recent tournament. This is the result of the hard work of the kids and the dedication of all the coaches. Vex Robotics is a great way to introduce students to the practical side of STEM. As a small team they design, build, program, test, rework and compete a robot. They are guided through the process by adult mentors like Brandon and myself. Many of these students go on to participate in robotics in high school then major in STEM fields in college. Those who major in other areas still take with them problem solving, troubleshooting and collaboration skills. If you are interested in supporting youngsters in STEM you can first approach your child's school about starting a robotics team or joining the one they have. Don't have a child that wants to do robotics? We always need help for our tournaments - judges, referees, scorekeepers, etc. Or, if you have access to a fun spot that can host an event, we always appreciate new venues.
Thrilled to share the remarkable achievements of Mary Our Queen's students (Team 985) at the recent Gross Catholic High School VEX IQ Tournament. Demonstrating exceptional skill and dedication, our middle school teams, 985A and 985C, emerged as champions, with our elementary teams, 985P and 91416Y from Wahoo, NE, leading their division to victory. 🏆 The event highlighted several impressive accomplishments:: * Team 985N captured a commendable second place in the elementary division, alongside a special judges' award. 🥈 * Team 985T showcased superior robotics skills, winning first place in the Robot Skills Challenge. 🤖 * Team 985M earned the Design Award for their meticulous documentation of the Engineering Process throughout the season. 📝 * Team 985R received the Innovate Award for their robot's inventive design. 💡 * Team 985C was recognized with a judges' award for their outstanding performance, even amidst challenges. 👏 * Team 985A not only excelled in robot skills but also earned the prestigious Excellence Award, the top accolade of the tournament. 🌟 It's exciting to see the creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork these young students bring to the world of robotics. Their achievements are a testament to their hard work and passion. Middle School Live Stream https://lnkd.in/gBPnXbDQ Elementary Live Stream https://lnkd.in/g7GwBdzm https://lnkd.in/gae3P9JX
