Bring Robots to Life
VEX IQ and VEX V5 Robotics Summer Camp is designed to expose students to competition VEX Robotics. Through our robotics program, students will be able to work with their peers and experienced teachers to get hands-on hardware and software experience to bring robots to life.
Build skills that power the future
In a world where the next AI revolution is around the corner, learning how to code and understand the inner workings of technology is essential. Through our VEX programs, students gain comprehensive STEM experience.
From designing their robots in CAD modeling software to controlling their robots movements through Python and C++, students will also develop crucial teamwork, leadership and communication skills that will allow them to thrive in college and beyond.
All experience levels welcome
All experience levels are welcome. VEX IQ is primarily for elementary and middle school students ages 8-14 who are new to robotics, while VEX V5 is for high school and college students who are looking for a more advanced and challenging platform. There are no prerequisites to join and all robotic parts, and software are included.

What's the difference between VEX IQ and VEX V5?VEX IQ is designed for younger students (elementary to middle school) and uses snap-together parts. V5 is more advanced, using metal components, sensors, and coding for high school-level robotics challenges.
-
Does my child need experience to join?No experience needed! Our programs are beginner-friendly and tailored to each student’s level. Students will get hands-on support every step of the way.
-
What skills will my child gain?Students build real STEM skills—mechanical engineering, coding (including Python and C++), teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership—while preparing for regional and national competitions.
-
What is a typical class like?Each class combines guided instruction, robot building, coding, and team challenges. Students work in small groups with personalized mentorship from expert instructors.
-
Are there competitions?Yes! Students can participate in official VEX competitions throughout the year. These are incredible opportunities to showcase their skills and work as a team. We have VEX IQ and VEX V5 programs throughout the year.
-
Do I need to buy anything?Nope! All robotics kits, tools, software, and materials are provided with the program. Just please bring your own personal laptop and computer, and a willingness to learn.
-
What makes your robotics program different?We go beyond kits and coding. Our instructors don’t just teach robotics—they live it. Many have competed (and won) in top-tier VEX competitions, taught community robotics classes, and led award-winning teams to national and international championships. Students get expert mentorship, a professionally designed curriculum, and seamless integration of both hardware and software—including Python, C++, and CAD. With their mentorship and our integrated curriculum, students gain real-world skills and competitive edge—all with tools, kits, and software included.
