BattleBots® at Home with VEX IQ Kit

VEX is a popular, exciting, robotics platform designed for teens to build a wide variety of robots. Features includes sensors, which gather information for the robot, and motors, which allow users to create moving parts, like wheels and claw arms. 

Robotics is an integral part of cutting-edge careers like aerospace engineering, computer science, and hardware design. If your child loves to tinker and would enjoy learning about STEM in a concrete way, their new robotics project could be just the thing to help them envision a future in one of these professions.

And then of course there are the “soft skills” that go along with advancing as a young robotics engineer.

Think about, for instance, the perseverance it takes to patiently and meticulously assemble a piece of hardware or the problem-solving necessary to program a robot to complete an obstacle course. These skills are essential not only in the STEM world, but in the working world as a whole. 

All packs include a VEX bot (valued at $479), sent to your home. This is your child’s to keep, allowing for endless redesigns, rebuilds, and robot evolution long after the lessons end. 

Our Online Private Lessons offer live, 1-on-1 learning with an experienced, USA-based instructor and curriculum tailored to your child's interests and skill level! When you select this topic and purchase a lesson package, you can choose your instructor and schedule a 60-minute lesson for the date and time that works best for you.  

Once scheduled, you can share notes about your child and any specific learning goals they might have. When it's time for their lesson, your child will connect with their instructor via Zoom. You will receive a post-session progress report via email so you can track your child's success! 

Here is a quote from a parent whose son recently completed our Blender online lessons:

"My 12-year-old son recently completed a 3D modeling lesson using Blender through iD Tech, and the experience was exceptional. His instructor, Izzy, demonstrated remarkable teaching skills, adeptly tailoring the session to my son's individual knowledge level and learning needs. The lesson maintained a fun and engaging atmosphere throughout, leaving my son inspired and eager to further explore Blender's incredible functionalities. I highly recommend iD Tech and Izzy for anyone seeking quality tech education for their children!"
