Teach Computer Science and Coding with VEXcode VR
VEXcode VR is an easy to use platform that allows you to code a virtual robot using either Block-based coding environment powered by Scratch Blocks, or a custom developed Text-based Python interface.
VR is based on VEXcode, the same programming environment used for VEX 123, GO, IQ and V5 robots. STEM learning can continue while at home for students, teachers and mentors with no access to their VEX robots.
Features:
- Ages 8+
- No student accounts & no installation required
- Start with Blocks, then use Switch to easily transition to Python coding
- Student learning submissions make collecting code, progress and activity easy
- Professional Development Plus for Computer Science Educators
- Every license includes access for all the educators' students, both in school and at home

Easy to Get Started. And Free.
VEXcode focuses on coding with a pre-built VEX robot. Great in school and out of school.
Virtual Robots
These robots are pre-built. Use drivetrains to navigate. Use sensors to help solve mazes. Use pen features on the art canvas to code a creative drawing. Use the new electromagnet to interact with game objects in challenges.
Virtual Playgrounds
Choose from different virtual 3D playgrounds to take advantage of the virtual robot’s features. Control your point of view as the robot runs your code. Playgrounds include a grid world, an art canvas, and a walled maze.
