The VEX V5 Classroom Starter Kit is an ideal robotics teaching tool from VEX's V5 range that can be used to introduce students to a wide range of STEM and Computer Science subjects. With this comprehensive kit, students can take on the project of building and programming a Clawbot, learning important lessons in mechanics, engineering, circuitry, coding and problem-solving. This engaging, hands-on teaching tool can additionally be re-purposed to create even more projects and teach an expansive range of lessons and skills that can help children and students develop their interests in the classroom and at home, ranging from mechanical advantage to computer programming and iterative design.
VEX's V5 Classroom Starter Kit not only introduces students to the hands-on aspects of STEM subjects, but also provides an engaging way for students experience an introduction to programming and coding when used in conjunction with VEX's VEXcode software. A scalable program that can be used across all school years, VEXcode introduces programming through a block-based interface that allows new programmers to focus on function and creativity, dragging and dropping functions into place to build their desired program. Once students are comfortable with block-based coding and are ready to graduate to text-based coding, VEXcode's built-in tools allow them to convert their blocks into text, giving a real-time insight into the C++ or Python code behind each function.
