VCMS VEX Robotics

The VEX IQ Challenge provides middle school students with exciting, open-ended robotics, engineering and research project challenges that enhance their science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills through hands-on, student-centered learning.

VEX IQ Challenge teams solve an annual game challenge by designing, building and programming a robot. Students work in teams to score points in teamwork matches and in the Robot Skills Challenge. 

What is VEX IQ?

VEX IQ is a robotics platform designed to transform STEM learning for young students and their teachers.  In the VEX Competitions, students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play against other teams from around the world in a game-based engineering challenge. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test on the playing field as students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more. Tournaments are held year-round at the regional, state, and national levels; local champions go on to compete against the best in the world at VEX Worlds each May!

Information for the 2025-26 season will be coming soon.  Please check back in August after school has started.
