Introducing AI to the classroom with VEX Robotics

In this interactive session, educators will explore how VEX 123 – and then VEX AIM - introduces students to AI concepts through hands-on activities. Participants will use coding methods—Touch, Coder cards, and VEXcode —to program the 123 and AIM Robots, gaining a practical understanding of computational thinking and artificial intelligence. We'll also cover how to seamlessly integrate these activities into any classroom setting, regardless of prior coding experience. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to teach AI concepts in an accessible, engaging way, inspiring students of all ages to see the real-world applications of AI in problem-solving.
