General Info
Welcome to the 6th annual WV VEX U Qualifier - one of the largest VEX U events in the world!
Hosted by Fairmont State University's Falcon Center, this event occurs on the Friday afternoon/evening before the WV VRC State Championships.
We are a short drive away from many sit-down and fast food restaurants, but outside food cannot be brought into the venue. There will be a dinner break from 5PM to 6PM. Unfortunately, Fairmont State's dining hall will be closed.
Health & Safety Policies
