WHY ROBOTICS

                                     Educators report that 4 out 5 students are
                                        more aware of STEM careers after
                                        participating in VEX Competitions.

                      Nine out of 10 students express interest in pursuing STEM
                     careers after participating in the VEX Robotics Competition.

               96%    VEX Competition participants exhibit workforce skills such
                      as patience, persistence, and collaboration.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

During the 2018- 2019 season, we delivered the
VEX Robotics Competition and VEX IQ Challenge
to dozens of Native American schools primarily
in Florida, Arizona, and Oklahoma, reaching
over 1,000 Native American students annually.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

               On March 2, 2019, we hosted the first-ever
               student robotics tournament in the Southeast
               region with robotics teams comprised of all Deaf
