Using Vex VR, students will gain an understanding of the design and build process used in robotics. Additionally, this club will also introduce students to programming concepts and the programming  language used by Vex.

In this class, students will learn how to access the web based, virtual reality VEX platform

Students Will Learn:
How to use coding blocks to program a virtual robot
How to build a robot
How to program a robot virtually
How to program using drag and drop coding
The syntax for some programming languages
How to problem solve and work in a team

.This class is for beginners who have never coded before.   
.The class is taught using a step by step approach and we answer questions as we code. 
.This class is very interactive. Students will learn by doing. 
.No downloads are required. All platforms are web based. 
.Students will need to have access to an internet connection and can work on desktop or laptop computer.
