Overview
VEX Robotics
VEX Educational Robotics -- which can be used to build both autonomous and radio-controlled robotic devices -- is a fun, imaginative, and hands-on way for students to learn about STEM subjects. By instilling a passion for science and technology in young people, VEX Educational Robotics is helping to foster the next generation of engineers.
Autodesk® Inventor®
Autodesk Inventor Professional is the software foundation across multiple engineering disciplines and industries for Digital Prototyping, producing an accurate 3D model that validates the form, fit, and function of a design before it is built. Autodesk Inventor helps students visualize, simulate, and analyze how their design will work under real-world conditions. Autodesk Inventor empowers students not only to learn, but to demonstrate what they imagine, and shape their future as engineers and design professionals.
