Coding Made Easy
VEXcode is a coding environment that meets students at their level. Novice coders can get started coding with blocks while more advanced coders can use Python or C++. Whether it's blocks or text, all students can use VEXcode's tutorials, example projects, and built-in help to code their VEX V5 Workcell along the way.
The VEX Knowledge Base
The Knowledge Base is an online library of everything VEX, containing hundreds of articles, all designed to provide you with helpful information on all of our products and ongoing support. There are sections dedicated to each product. The Knowledge Base articles cover a wide variety of topics, all designed to help you implement VEX products in your classroom.
TEACHER RESOURCES
VEX V5 comes with free plug-in lessons called STEM LABS. These fun, easy to follow, hands-on lessons encourage teamwork, collaboration, and guided exploration!

Problem solving and collaboration skills
Factory Automation Competition
Together with the REC Foundation, VEX Robotics is bringing a new level to Career and Technical Education with the Factory Automation Competition. This classroom based competition allows students to connect and apply what they've learned through objectives that emulate real industry scenarios.
This competition is completely remote, meaning teams from around the world can compete for the best throughput and runtime from their own classrooms. The FAC also evolves annually so students will be able to reconfigure their Workcell to fit the new objective each year, without the need for new hardware.
