The VEX Robotics Competition, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, is the largest and fastest growing middle school and high school robotics program globally. Each year, an exciting engineering challenge is presented in the form of a game. Students, with guidance from their teachers and mentors, build innovative robots and compete year-round. This culminates in the VEX World Robotics Championships (the largest robotics competition in the world) where over ten thousand students and several thousand teams from over 70 countries participate. Here is a video of the VEX World Championships held in May of 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1xfAxlaTgo

In addition to learning valuable engineering skills, students gain life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, communication, collaboration, project management, and critical thinking. The VEX Robotics Competition prepares students to become future innovators with 95% of participants reporting an increased interest in STEM subject areas and pursuing STEM-related careers. Teams will participate in several local tournaments to qualify for the state championships and the world championships which are held every year in May.
