VEX is a wonderful way for kids to get hands-on involvement with technology and exposure to STEM careers. I personally know several youth who are pursuing careers in STEM fields due to their work in VEX. Just as important as learning technical skills, kids are participating in VEX to learn how to work on a team, execute projects on a deadline, communicate effectively, and operate under pressure. VEX creates and shapes our future workforce!
