General Info

We are excited to host this VEX IQ Camp. We will focus on the VEX IQ game that will be released at the beginning of May. No experience is required to attend this camp. 

During the camp, we will build custom drivetrains, build the next year's Hero Bot, code the robot for their remote control and autonomous challenges, notebooking, and we will help the kids explore custom changes to their robot. Finally, to finish the camp, we will host a friendly VEX tournament.

Though this is not a requirement, we encourage kids and teams signed up for the event to bring their own parts. This will allow each team to leave with what they built through the week and have a jumpstart on the upcoming competition. 

Please plan to bring lunch and snacks each day. Please bring a refillable water bottle. 

You can drop your kids off as early as 8:00 A.M. Instruction will begin at 9:00 A.M. Instruction will conclude at 3:00 P.M. each day. Please pickup your child no later than 4:00 P.M.
