The VEX Robotic team provides students 3rd grade through college, in three different age groups, the opportunity to learn about competitive robotics as part of a community team. Students can participate year round with new contests and projects being implemented annually. Students will gain an introduction to mechanical, electrical, programming and CAD design while keeping track of individual progress through an engineering notebook. Students also develop additional skills, including multimedia marketing, team building, time management and public speaking. The VEX program has operated on the MCCC campus for 12 competitive seasons and is designed to be a yearround, continuous student development program. Interested students should visit a class session to learn more and meet the other team members and mentors. Contact mmohn@monroeccc.edu for more information.
