Q&A

No, prior robotics or programming experience is not required. Our courses are designed to cater to students of all levels, from beginners to those with more experience. We start with the basics and guide students step by step in building robots and learning programming. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some knowledge, you'll be able to develop your skills at your own pace and grow through hands-on experience.

VEX IQ: The VEX IQ program is designed for students aged 6 and above, providing a great introduction to robotics and STEM learning.

VEX Robotics Competition (VRC): The VEX Robotics Competition is open to students aged 11 and above, offering more advanced challenges and opportunities for team collaboration.

Participating in VEX Robotics courses and competitions provides students with a range of advantages. Many top private schools and Ivy League universities value students' abilities in STEM, particularly achievements in innovation and technology. By competing in VEX Robotics events and winning awards (such as Best Design, Programming Award, Team Spirit Award, etc.), students can accumulate more awards, which is highly beneficial for private school scholarships and university applications.

In addition, the VEX Robotics program itself is a valuable extracurricular activity. Through teamwork, leadership roles, and hands-on experience, students can showcase their diverse skills, all of which enhance their competitiveness when applying to top-tier schools. Many universities and scholarship programs prioritize students who excel in STEM fields. Many of our students have received offers from prestigious schools through their learning and achievements in VEX.

The VEX Robotics courses provide a learning path from beginner to advanced levels. Students can master basic robot building and programming skills in just a few months and participate in regional or global competitions. While there is no fixed time requirement, typically, students are ready to compete after learning for two to three terms.

1. Global Recognition: VEX Robotics is highly recognized by prestigious universities like Harvard and MIT. Many top international universities prioritize VEX award winners during the admissions process.

2. STEM Education: VEX Robotics covers programming (Python/C++), mechanical engineering, and AI applications, allowing students to gain cutting-edge technology knowledge through hands-on practice.

3. High-Difficulty Competition + Teamwork: VEX not only tests students' hands-on skills but also trains their teamwork, strategic thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

4. Academic and Career Advancement: Many VEX students continue their studies in robotics, artificial intelligence, and other popular fields in college, leading to promising career prospects in the future!

The VEX Robotics Competition is the most popular youth robotics competition in the world and one of the most prestigious events in the field of youth robotics, often referred to as the "Olympics of Robotics"! Organized by the Robotic Educational Contribution Foundation, it is supported by renowned universities such as Carnegie Mellon University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and California State University, as well as companies like Autodesk, Universal Studios, and Innovation First. It is a global robotics event for students ranging from elementary school to university level, with participants from over 60 countries and millions of students. The competition requires students to assemble, program, and troubleshoot robots to complete specific tasks in the competition arena, testing their programming, engineering design, teamwork, and on-the-spot problem-solving abilities.
