Work effectively in a team and document their process; Build and program a functioning robot; Collect and analyze data to improve performance;
Grade 5 - Grade 8 (ages 10–14)
Give students the opportunity to apply the basic knowledge they learned the previous year to actual robot building and competitions.
By the end of the program, students should be able to:
✅ Collect and analyze data to improve performance
✅ Work effectively in a team and document their process
✅ Build and program a functioning robot
VEX IQ projects integrate multiple STEM subjects:
• Math: ratios, measurements, geometry, angles
• Science: forces, motion, energy transfer
• Technology: sensors, feedback systems, automation
• Engineering: design, iteration, optimization
• Data: collect, graph, and analyze test results
Students learn build persistence, teamwork, and critical thinking — mirroring professional engineering cycles. They work in teams to design, build, and present their robots.
They practice:
• Teamwork and task division
• Time management
• Communicating design choices
• Preparing engineering notebooks and presentations
For teams participating in VEX IQ Challenge, they learn:
• Game analysis and scoring strategy
• Collaboration with alliance partners
• Autonomous and driver control runs
• Design and programming awards criteria
