We all know that robots attract kids to learn STEM. VEX Robotics and VEXcode are providing opportunities for students of all ages to participate in learning the code that makes these robots work. VEX makes computer science come to life through collaborations, hands-on projects, and engaging experiences. From classrooms to competitions, VEXcode helps to create the next generation of innovators.
VEXcode’s Block-based interface is the perfect platform for those new to coding. Students use a simple drag and drop interface to create functioning projects. Each block's purpose can easily be identified using the visual cues like its shape, color, and label. We’ve designed VEXcode’s Block-based interface to allow those who are new to robotics to get their robot up and running faster. Students can now focus on being creative and learning Computer Science concepts, not stuck trying to figure out the coding interface.
Once students are ready to transition from Block-based coding to Text-based coding, VEXcode built-in tools are ready to help. With the Code Viewer, students can see in real-time the C++ or Python code generated by each block added to their project. Once students feel comfortable understanding how each block coordinates to specific text coding, they can convert their Block-based project to a Text-based project with a single button press.
