Advanced Robotics is a hands-on project-based STEM education course where students work in teams to collaborate, design, and build a VEX robot and other robotic and automated systems. Students who have completed or are enrolled in Coding with Robotics OR 3D engineering II are encouraged to take this course. This course will cover key concepts and engineering principles such as simple machines, mechanical advantage, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Students in this class will also be encouraged to participate in the VEX robotics VCE after school program to compete on a competitive robotics team against teams from other schools.

Vista School has joined the VEX Robotics Competition! This exciting Vex-vrc program extends beyond the classroom to an after-school course that is open to 7th-12th grade students who are interested in coding, engineering, robotics, and having fun and friendly competition. Vista has also started a VEX-IQ Competition for 4-6 grades as a pathway program to vex-vrc.

OUR TEAMS

Vista has 15 VEX Robotics Competition teams for the 2023-2024 school year made up of our students, along with students from other middle and high schools. This year our teams are working hard to qualify for the world VEX Robotics Championships in Dallas Texas.

WHY VEX?

VEX is the largest robotics program for middle and high school teams with over 20,000 teams in over 45 countries. VEX is a STEM focused program that offers students opportunities to work as a team to solve problems and become critical thinkers. Although this program has been in northern Utah since 2008, it wasn’t offered to students in southern Utah until 2018. Vista is working hard to grow the VEX Robotics program in our area. Vista Robotics would like to see VEX become available to all students in southern Utah.

VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) is a high level STEM program that offers students a competitive challenge where students design, build, and program a robot to accomplish different tasks. This year the students have to score points by scoring blocks in the corners of the field along with lifting blocks into scoring towers. This is an offensive and defensive game. The game is played on a 12′ x 12′ field and lasts only 2 minutes, which includes a 15 second autonomous control period and a 1 minute 45 second driver control period.

BUDGET

This mission of the Vista Robotics program is not only to provide opportunities for Vista students, but to promote VEX Robotics in southern Utah. For Vista Robotics to reach more students, we need help from generous individuals and businesses like yours! An average team would spend $3000 to get running.

WHY INVEST?

Every donation to the Vista Robotics program provides opportunities for students that will have an impact for the rest of their lives. These students may become the engineers and scientists of the future. Your sponsorship would help provide more opportunities to students for years to come.

Vista Vex

With more and more schools adopting VEX Robotics as a platform to enrich and enhance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, there is a need for an integrated program which allows teachers to seamlessly add VEX into their classrooms. As such Vista is integrating an array of VEX curriculum offerings, each tailored to the specific needs of teachers wishing to incorporate VEX into their classes. These offerings were developed by forward-thinking organizations with years of experience creating the tools to keep STEM education exciting and inspiring.
