Had SO much fun last night helping make things out of their engineering and coding projects!
Audra, Aimee, and Alaina from @VEXRobotics visited @WoodlandHillsSD Mother/Daughter VEX Club tonight at Rankin Community Center to make ornaments with the girls and moms for the holidays! We can’t wait for you to visit us again!

It’s been a week since the @VEXRobotics Educators Conference held at VEX Worlds! I had so much fun meeting robotics educators and students from around the world and jumping back into my teacher shoes to lead hands-on workshops. What was your favorite experience from VEX Worlds?

Currently investigating the inside of my sewing machine to determine where and why an error occurred. Another a cool way to show students how the engineering design process is everywhere! I’m identifying the problem, will brainstorm solutions. Then test and iterate.

Update! Got the clog sorted and reread the manual. Learned about a whole new stitch option that would be better for this project! Sometimes slowing down and assessing what you know is a great way to problem solve.

Code loops without a screen! #VEX123 is a great way to get started coding early with your students. I’m at booth 146 with @VEXRobotics until 5:30pm today and 8am to 1pm tomorrow if you want to chat ☺️ #FETC2024

Absolutely loved getting to be a camp counselor again! This would be great for parents looking for activities for their curious student or even for classrooms getting started with robotics this fall. Let me know how you’re using VEX camps! 🤖🏕️
VEX IQ Online Camps have launched! 🥳 In these free, virtual camps, students will play games & compete in a fun Robot Games Camp! Through instructor-led video sessions, they'll gain skills as they build, code, & drive their own bots! 🏕️ Get camping at camps.vex.com!

This turned out amazing! Love seeing STEM Competitions with 123
First grade completed the Toy Box Challenge. Students had to move as many ”toys” into the Toy Box in 2 minutes. Student worked together to come up with a strategic plan. @vexrobotics @woodlandhillssd @CaulkettA

This is amazing! Competition really is such a fantastic motivator for students. Love their enthusiasm 😊
Look how into competition day these kids get! We started our journey learning about claws and arms and ended our unit with Up And Over today! This is robotics! This is STEM!
