YOUNG INVENTORS GEAR UP FOR LOCAL VEX IQ ROBOTICS COMPETITION AT
DISCOVERY CHILDREN’S MUSEUM
Students Showcase STEM Skills with Custom-Built Robots at DISCOVERY Children’s Museum
WHAT: Saturday, January 6, 2024 - Over 100 elementary and middle school VEX IQ Competition students and mentors from around Las Vegas, NV will unite at DISCOVERY Children’s Museum on January 6, 2024, for the 2023-2024 VEX Robotics Competition game, Full Volume Tournament, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation. The action-packed event will feature 26 teams who will collaborate with other schools in a series of back-to-back robot skills challenges. Participants strive to succeed by strategically executing the VEX IQ Competition Full Volume game, with robots they designed, built, and programmed using VEX IQ.
This robotics competition is one in a series of events taking place throughout the year. VEX Competitions represent the world’s largest and fastest-growing competitive robotics programs for elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges. There are more than 23,000 VEX teams from more than 58 countries that participate in over 2,300 events worldwide. The competition season culminates each spring with the VEX Robotics World Championship, a highly-anticipated event that unites top qualifying teams from local, state, regional, and international VEX IQ Competition events who strive to secure the title of World Champions.
“Watching students experiencing the joy of bringing a robot from design renderings to the competition field is extraordinary. The opportunity for the students to compete with their peers and learn from each other is truly inspiring. The event will prepare students with the skills they need to become tomorrow’s leading innovators,” said Melissa Kaiser, CEO of DISCOVERY Children’s Museum.
The VEX Robotics Competition serves as a vehicle for students to develop critical life skills, such as teamwork, ingenuity, and project management. These skills are honed through building robots and collaborating with like-minded students from the community.
