VEX 123 Kit – Robot & Encoder Bundle – Red

The VEX 123 Robot is an interactive, programmable robot that brings STEM, Computer Science, and Computational Thinking to life for young students.

VEX 123 is specifically designed to help anyone bring computer science to life for their students, no matter what experience they have with robotics. Whether using VEX 123 in a learning center, as part of a math lesson, in a STEM class, or in an after-school club, there are materials that make it easy for you to get started teaching with VEX 123 in any setting. This page is a hub of resources that you can use as you begin teaching with 123, and return to later to learn more. Educators’ plates are more full today than ever before, often with more questions than answers. This page is here to help you take the guesswork out of teaching with VEX 123, and to be a support on your STEM teaching journey.

Examples of ways to customize the 123 Robot

Use craft materials, or pieces from VEX GO or IQ Kits to customize the 123 Robot to fit a theme for coding activities, or have students personalize the robot based on their interests. Use tape or pipe cleaners to attach materials. Avoid using stickers or glue on the Art Ring to avoid time-consuming cleanup.
