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. The 2024–2025 challenge is VEX IQ Rapid Relay.
