(G4-8) VEXCode VR Blocks Programming
First, robots are fun. No matter the subject, teachers are always looking for ways to engage and motivate their students. The everyday relevance of robots in the lives of students provides a natural and authentic hook for student learning. The process of developing programming solutions with a robot provides a relevant context for engaging students in learning coding. The VEX VR curriculum provides students with a fun and engaging way to learn Blocks coding, Python coding with Robotics.
(G4-8) VEXcode VR Blocks
Begin the journey into learning Computer Science with the VEXcode VR - Blocks course! Using VEXcode VR and engaging robotics-based activities, students will learn about project flow, loops, conditionals, algorithms.
(G4-8) VEXcode VR Python
Continue the coding journey with text-based coding in VEXcode VR Python! Using a VR Robot to solve various coding challenges, students will learn about project flow, loops, conditions, and algorithms in Python.
All units are taught in both Blocks or Python so students will have perfect understanding switching from Blocks to Python!
