Give your students the tools they need to succeed
With more schools adopting robotics as a platform to enhance STEM and Computer Science courses, teachers need a solution to seamlessly integrate curriculum, programming software, and hardware into the classroom.
You have a choice when it comes to what you teach
Below are two tailored VEX V5 learning paths, each with unique goals and methods of implementation
STEM Labs
Our standards-matched STEM Labs can adapt to fit any classroom
STEM Labs are hands-on activities, which include diverse builds, games, and competitions, that align with education standards while also showing real-world applications of concepts.
For many teachers, figuring out how to implement concepts into maths, design & technology, engineering and computer science subjects can be difficult. Our STEM Labs allow for easy implementation with minimal preparation time. Each STEM Lab can be used on multiple platforms and includes easy-to-follow build instructions.
Making students think harder, earlier.
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is an industry leader in education by encouraging students to work together to solve real-world STEM problems.
PLTW partners with middle schools and high schools to provide a rigorous, relevant STEM education. Through an engaging, hands-on curriculum, PLTW encourages the development of problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creative and innovative reasoning and a love of learning. PLTW features the VEX V5 system in several of its project-based engineering courses.

Know
Fuel students’ motivation to learn by preparing them for their next challenge!
Our STEM Labs were designed by a team of classroom teachers and cognitive scientists who work closely with the world-renowned Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy to conduct collaborative research on educational robotics and computer science. Each STEM Lab includes:
- Structured lessons that provide easy entry
- Engaging activities with real-world connections
- Teacher materials for a painless implementation
- Aligned standards for core skills and concepts
