Our VEX Robotics Fall Camp wrapped up Thursday with a team competition. Over the past two weeks, students learned to code their robots, test how they performed on their own, develop game strategies, and make adjustments when things didn’t go as planned. Then they put those skills to work in a close competition!![]()
