VEX Robotics Alternate Builds: Series 1

February 28, 2017 by admin 2 Comments

STEM is essential to young learners. Science, technology, engineering and math aren’t just some of the most rudimentary pillars of education, they’re keys to unlocking future interests and eventually, careers. The toys your child plays with today sets them on the path for tomorrow. Hands-on problem solving, enhancing creative intuition, and improving your hand-eye coordination are just a few of the takeaways from building a singular VEX Robotics snap-together kit. But once your masterpiece has been constructed, is the fun over? Not at all! Most VEX Robotics kits feature alternate builds, lesser known creations derived from the pieces you already have. Keep the learning and laughs going, with these five awesome builds!
