VEX Robotics is the leading platform for educational robotics around the world. With the tool-less, plastic VEX IQ platform for Key Stages 2 & 3 and the metal VEX EDR kits for Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 it is perfectly placed to allow students to grow and develop in an open-ended, problem-solving and engaging way. The free programming software, ranging from Modkit, our simple drag and drop format through to the more advanced Robot C, based on C++ language makes VEX accessible to all. The free curriculum across Design & Technology, Engineering and Computer Science means the kits can be used in the classroom and as part of the extra-curricular VEX Robotics Competition. This is the largest and fastest growing robotics competition in the world with events held each year across the UK. Involvement in the competition develops key skills in competitors including teamwork, time management, perseverance – all of which are valued by employers.
