BB Bots
- First robot movements and sequences
- Story-based missions and STEM play
- Confidence with beginner coding
Hands-on STEM learning using VEX kits — students build, code and compete. No experience needed. Small groups. Ages 6–14.
Each track is age-appropriate and designed to prepare students for the next stage.
Build real robots with motors, gears, sensors, and mechanisms.
Progress from button sequences to block code to Python.
Learn forces, motion, geometry, measurement, and prediction through robotics.
Students learn to debug, iterate, and keep going when designs fail.
Pair builds, team challenges, and peer feedback teach collaboration.
Demo Days and showcases build public speaking confidence.
Students who graduate BB Bots are invited into VEXGO Bots. VEXGO graduates move into VEX IQ Bots. Top VEX IQ students can prepare for external VIQRC competitions.
Explore the two-year curriculum for each robotics track.
Meet the robot, button sequences, move forward and turn.
