General Info

Magikid Empower Tech Foundation is excited to present the Magikid AI Inovator Workshop—a dynamic, forward-looking event that inspires creativity and innovation!


The workshop will feature the latest addition to the VEX lineup, AI technology, including VRC robots equipped with AI sensors. We will provide all necessary devices, robots, and a fully equipped field for participants. If you wish to bring your own V5RC robot, please contact us for more details.


We have specially arranged an on-site AI robotics research luncheon, where participants will study restaurant service robots and write an AI robotics research report based on their findings.  


Join us for an exciting journey of learning, teamwork, and the latest in tech innovation. Let’s shape the future together! 

Participant Requirements: Basic knowledge of V5 engineering or prior competition experience. Familiarity with VEX CODE programming and basic knowledge of C++ or Python.
(If you do not meet these requirements, please email us for further details.)
