VEX Robotics is educational robotics for everyone. It encourages creativity, teamwork, leadership, and problem solving among groups.  

The programme coordinators envision a world where every student has the opportunity to be inspired by the excitement of hands-on, minds-on STEM learning and the feeling of creating something with technology.
