VEX EDR
​
VEX kits inspire students to become the problem solving heroes of tomorrow. The VEX EDR system harnesses the excitement of building robots to immerse learners in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) concepts. Educators can bring VEX EDR into the classroom with our custom-made curriculum or use it as a standalone teaching tool in after-school robotics clubs.
VEX Curriculum
This curriculum leverages the “coolness” of robotics, and the excitement of head to head competition to inspire and engage students.
Students will walk through the design and build a mobile robot to play a sport-like game. During this process they will learn key STEM principles, and robotics concepts. At the culmination of this class, they will compete head-to-head against their peers in the classroom, or on the world stage in the VEX Robotics Competition, the largest and fastest growing international robotics competition for middle and high school students.
Sketchup for Schools
Trimble's SketchUp for Schools is the core SketchUp modeler now available in a web browser for any Primary and Secondary School signed up with G Suite for Education. You can use SketchUp on any device with mouse & keyboard input and access to internet. You can make anything you can imagine, from anywhere, anytime you imagine it.
Sketchbook
Engineers use a variety of tools to help them during the completion of a design process and the solving of a problem. One of these tools is the Engineering Notebook, which was described previously. If robotics teams want to take their Engineering Notebooks to the next level, they can use digital design tools to enhance their work and save valuable production time. One useful tool for digital design creation and documentation is Sketchbook. Autodesk® SketchBook® software allows students to document their robot design ideas, not only in the classroom, but also wherever and whenever they like using the mobile app. During the modeling, testing and developing stages of the design process, students are able to revisit their original concepts in Sketchbook, and quickly modify and save as a new design. This produces a comprehensive log for their Engineering Notebook that records their decisions throughout the design process.
