Program Description:

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of robotics programming and engineering using VEX Robotics platforms. Students will learn how to design, build, and program robots using block-based coding and/or C++ (VEXcode) to control motors, sensors, and autonomous behaviors. The course covers key concepts such as movement, sensor integration, loops, conditionals, and problem-solving through iterative design. Students will also explore robotics competition elements, teamwork, and real-world engineering applications. Through hands-on projects and challenges, students will develop both coding and mechanical design skills in an engaging, applied learning environment.
