Hello all! I’m so excited to inform you that we have just published the first two chapters of a brand new IQ Training Course - Teaching VEX IQ STEM Labs!
This course is perfect for teachers new to teaching with IQ. The video-based lessons will explain what IQ STEM Labs are, and why they are an essential resource for teaching with VEX IQ. You can view the course summary here.
You’ll get in depth insight into teaching coding and engineering with IQ along with implementation advice. Lessons cover practical concerns as well, such as how to group your students to ensure their success, and how to choose the right IQ STEM Labs for your classroom.
We will keep you updated as we publish the last two chapters!

Chapter 4 of the newest Training Course - Teaching VEX IQ STEM Labs is now Live. This means the entire course is now live!
In this last Chapter, you’ll learn about making student-centered assessment work for you within the STEM Labs, as well as resources and next steps to take once you’ve completed teaching your first VEX IQ STEM Lab.
The video on student-centered assessment will be really helpful, and I can’t wait to hear about your experiences with co-creating learning targets and conversation-based assessments go throughout the year!
