Reflecting on my experience at the 2024 VEX Robotics Conference, I had the privilege of connecting with educators like @Darren_Fellowes from Australia. Our conversations were eye-opening, and they reaffirmed a key lesson I’ve learned over the years: great teaching is about building relationships, not just delivering content. As we stayed in touch, we always circled back to this central truth—and the power of connecting with students on a human level.
That same principle applies to the VEX Robotics community. The growth of robotics is happening at an unprecedented pace. Take a look at companies like Boston Dynamics—what they’re accomplishing today is the result of innovation that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago. Robotics is rapidly becoming an integral part of industries across the globe, and the skills students gain today will shape the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.
That’s why attending the 2025 VEX Robotics Conference isn’t just a chance to learn—it’s an opportunity to connect with like-minded educators, share ideas, and be part of a community that’s shaping the future of education and technology. Whether you’re looking to explore new teaching strategies, dive into the latest robotics trends, or simply network with others who are as passionate about robotics as you are, this is the place to be.
But it’s not just about the robots. It’s about the relationships we build with our students, our peers, and the broader robotics community. When students know we care about them—not just their grades but their growth as individuals—they’re more likely to take risks, ask questions, and push the boundaries of what they think is possible. These relationships are the foundation of great teaching, and they’re what make the VEX Robotics community so special.
So, if you want to be a part of a rapidly growing field and join a network of passionate educators who are shaping the next generation of innovators, I recommend attending the 2025 VEX Robotics Conference.
