VEX IQ Challenge
Once you’ve mastered building the Clawbot, challenge yourself further with the VEX IQ
Challenge. Presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation , the VEX IQ
Challenge is a STEM program for elementary and middle school students (ages 8-14).
The power of the VEX IQ system combined with the REC Foundation’s years of experience
inspiring students through robotics competitions is giving younger students more affordable
access to the inspiration, excitement and learning that comes from participating in a STEM
challenge.
In the VEX IQ Challenge, students, with guidance from their teachers and mentors, build a
robot using the VEX IQ robotics platform to solve an engineering challenge that is presented
in the form of a game. VEX IQ Challenge teams will work together to score points in
Teamwork Challenges. Teams then get to show off their robot’s skills individually in the robot
and autonomous Skills Challenges. Students will also use an Engineering Notebook to develop
an understanding of the design process. In addition to building robots, the STEM Challenge
component of the VEX IQ Challenge encourages students to actively learn about science,
technology, engineering and math.
Local VEX IQ Challenge events are held in many different cities, states, and countries. Top
teams from around the world will participate in local, regional and national VEX Robotics
Competitions. Teams will then qualify for VEX Robotics international competitions and the VEX
Robotics World Championship event held each Spring.
