Hi Everyone,
I’m really excited to share one of our newest resources with you - VEX Classroom Games. This site pulls together everything you need to run exciting and engaging classroom competitions with VEX curricular resources that you are familiar with and likely already using in your classroom.
There are over 100 games on the site across all of our platforms so you can bring gamified fun to your students no matter their age or experience level.
Classroom Games makes it super simple to choose a game, organize your teams, and run your competition with a class display that works as both a timer and a leaderboard. When your competition is over, you can use it to hold a celebratory awards ceremony!
This site takes care of all the logistics of running a classroom competition and makes it easier for you to focus on your students as they plan, test, and run their competition projects, or iterate on their robot builds. And, each competition event you create is saved in your browser so you can return to it later if you don’t finish your competition in one class period. Because all the saving is in your browser, there is no login needed.
And, if you are teaching with the IQ or V5 Competition 101 STEM Labs, VEX Classroom Games makes your practice competitions more realistic with the class display and scoring that mimics a real competition.
Here is a VEX Library Article you can use to give it a try:
Also, keep your eyes peeled for the Nov. 4 Insights article here in PD+, which provides an overview of the benefits and features of using Classroom Games.
Try it out at your next classroom competition and let us know what you think here in the Community!
