What is VEX IQ?
Our Vex IQ Program offers an exciting opportunity for students in Grades 3–7 to learn robotics, engineering, and programming in a fun and collaborative environment.
How We Do It
Every student gets to compete, even in their first year — we believe this is the best way to
learn. True growth happens through the experience of building, testing, winning, and
learning from challenges. After all, lessons and theory only take you so far.
Whether your child is new or experienced, we've built a proven coaching system to support
them from the ground up.
