• Location: Westlake High School Robotics Building

• The new VEX GO platform is designed for students in Grades 3rd -6th. It is similar to the VEX IQ platform but the pins are easier to insert and remove, the pieces are color-coded for easy reference and it uses VEX Code to program the robot. VEX Code is used across all VEX platforms. If interested, you can purchase the VEX GO Robot kit for your child to continue their STEM activities. Costs of the kit from camp will be $125.00 and can be added at registration. The camp provides instruction on building, programming, and problem-solving tasks. The programming software is free.

• We are pleased to offer this new VEX Robotics platform for students in Grades 3 - 6. After completing this class they can compete in the VEX GO classroom challenge "Level Up". Information on how to participate is provided during the course.
