VEX Training Day, We had a training day at our Banbury office today delivered by VEX Robotics. The session was led by Paul McKnight and Chris Calver who shared valuable insights and practical demonstrations with the Design and Technology Association team. The duo demonstrated the learning opportunities available in the field of robotics education using the VEX GO kits. The day started with an introduction to VEX GO and its unique features. VEX GO offers an affordable construction system designed to teach STEM fundamentals to young students through hands-on activities. The platform encourages all students to get involved...
VEX Robotics UK Finals, Our Director of Education Ryan Ball was thrilled to attend the first day of the VEX Robotics UK Finals. This marks his second attendance at the event, and he continues to be astounded by the talent and dedication displayed by the participating students. Reflecting on the experience, Ryan expressed admiration for the range of skills showcased throughout the competition. From intense sprinting to team camaraderie, from quick problem-solving to high-fives of celebration, the event was a testament to the students' commitment and passion for robotics. He remarked, "There is so much...
Inspired by Industry Gola, Inspired by Industry: Gola This context introduces textiles design through a sports theme, engaging students in creating sports bags or related kit solutions. While most will design a simple bag, the brief encourages innovation and wider applications in sports like yoga or dance. The project explores fabric properties, natural vs. synthetic fibres, and material repurposing, potentially using old PE kit to align with sustainability. Discussions may include zips, clips, and buckles, with a focus on pattern creation or finishing techniques. Outcomes range from drawstring and tote bags to duffle and sling bags, incorporating...

Structures: Whose Home?, Structures: Whose Home? 5-7 YearsStructuresFirst published 2019 Children are often happy to talk about their homes and families and this resource gives them the opportunity to use this knowledge and experience in a practical way. Making model homes will enable them to develop and use basic constructional skills using sheet and reclaimed materials to make freestanding structures stronger, stiffer and more stable, together with appropriate joining techniques. Using construction kit materials will help their understanding of strength and stability in structures. They should also consider the user and purpose for...
Robotics Mechatronics, Robotics MechatronicsModelling animal movement through robotics – October 2013 This kit includes CAD files to enable schools to produce their own components together with an explanatory PowerPoint presentation which includes diagrams and links to videos. The CAD files are templates which provide schools with a range of laser cut pieces that are easily assembled using readily available fixings and fastenings. It is intended as a prototyping tool that can be used to explore creative solutions in mechatronics and robotics project work. This resource has been developed by Sheffield Hallam University, as a result...

Prototyping and developing circuits from KS3 to GCSE, Electronics can be great fun, I have never seen a pupil look disappointed when their circuit works for the first time; YOU too can enjoy the feeling by building your own circuits after my session. Session Content: This session is suitable for absolute beginners or teachers that are a bit ‘rusty’ when it comes to developing circuits It will leave you with the confidence to let pupils develop their own circuits from scratch without soldering I’ll go through what sort of kit/equipment you...
Unlocking the Future: The Role of Robotics Education & Competition in Shaping Tomorrow's Innovators, Recently we were joined by our Webinar host Paul McKnight, Head of Operations (Europe) at VEX Robotics—one of our Blueprint1000 members, and a group of excited teachers to hear all about this years VEX Robotics World Championship. Paul started off by explaining that at VEX Robotics, they believe that all students are scientists and engineers at heart who thrive on asking questions, experimenting and simply playing. Using the thrill of robotics mixed with competition, the VEX Robotics World Championship allows students to envision themselves...
