Thanks to everyone who joined the Getting Started with VEX AIM workshop! In this session, we explored how VEX AIM can help bring computer science off the screen and into students’ hands through hands-on robotics.
We started with an introduction to VEX AIM, then moved through Drive Mode, Button Coding, and VEXcode AIM. Participants practiced driving the robot, breaking down robot actions into coding steps, and using AIM’s features, including the AI Vision Sensor, kicker, LEDs, and sounds. We also showcased robot-to-robot communication.
For those of you who attended the conference, you can start using the AIM you received as part of the swag. If you’re ready to get started with AIM in your classroom, you can purchase it here:
