This course is for students who have their own (or their school’s) VEX IQ robot at home and want to learn how to program it using VEXcode IQ block-based coding.  You must have a physical VEX robot to participate in this course (VEX Cortex/EDR or VEX V5 are also permissible). 

Every lesson in this self-paced course we will have specific goals to plan and write programs, download them to the robot and test the code.  Students need an area where they can test their robot running the programs.  If they have a way to show their results by filming and posting a video with their computer, phone or tablet, that would be great, but it is not required. 

Each lesson, the teacher will post a video lesson with resources (i.e., build instructions, supplemental information for the concept, etc.) Students will then create the program, download their program to their robot and share their results (either video or a written post about the results and by attaching their finished code).  

Students with learning disabilities, dyslexia, ASD, ADHD or other learning challenges are welcome to participate.  Extensive reading is NOT required in this course as most of the coding is block-based with some text input (Lesson 8 does require some reading).

These lessons may be differentiated for learner interest and ability.
