VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) is an international program for middle and high school students that has as its goal to engage student participants in the study of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through a competition in which students build innovative robots to solve a challenge.
Currently, over 3500 teams representing 20 countries compete globally each year in VRC. Through a series of competitions, students are expected to devise creative solutions to difficult problems, work as a team, learn sportsmanship, communicate effectively, and build leadership skills.
Cost of robot building can exceed £1000 between the team.
