Whether coaching a competitive VEX Robotics team or looking to incorporate a cost effective robotics platform into your in school or afterschool program, this session is for you. 

This is a hands-on workshop where participants will get firsthand experience designing, building, driving and programming a robot using the VEX platform. 

Participants will use the VEX ‘Virtual Worlds’ as well as the physical VEX kit to complete challenges that will build your confidence and ability. 

For the high fliers we will have a complete VEX  Robotics Competition (VRC) field for you to experience what competitive teams will face this fall.  Bring your own VEX Kit if you have one.  There will be a limited number of VEX kits available at the event.  Be sure to sign up and bring a friend.
