VEX AIM Activities
These activities offer more ways to engage with the VEX AIM Coding Robot, providing simple one page exercises that infuse CS concepts into the curricular content being taught in the classroom.
They are designed to be easy to follow for independent student use, as an extension activity or in a learning center setting. Activities can also be a part of a teacher’s lesson, or a scaffolding strategy to support differentiated learning.
Each one is designed with Step by Step instructions for students to complete the activity, as well as “Level Up” prompts for extensions or challenges, and “Pro Tips” to highlight techniques and concepts around building and design.
