As a software developer at VEX, we spend a lot of time thinking about how to build features that enhance the VEXcode experience, getting to share those features directly with educators, see them in action, and hear your feedback was a great reminder of why we do this work. Seeing the creative ways teachers integrate the VEX Continuum into classrooms was the highlight of my time at the Educators Conference.
One educator described a project that stood out to me: students were given the freedom to design their own robotics challenges and presentations throughout the semester, ending in a showcase night for family and friends – think a school art exhibition, but for robotics! This approach not only kept students deeply engaged but also supported creativity, ownership, as well as community and family involvement.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share how you’re using VEXcode. It’s incredibly motivating to see the impact of these tools in classrooms and helps us understand how we can best improve VEXcode.
