More Than Awards — A True Reflection of Capability
These results are no coincidence. In VEX IQ competitions, students are expected to independently take responsibility for:
- Robot structure and functional design
- Programming logic and debugging
- Strategy planning and real-time decision-making
- Team roles, communication, and collaboration
- Clearly presenting their engineering thinking to judges
Behind every award lies long-term, systematic training and authentic project-based experience.
