On November 30th, our new CSAA VEX IQ team 2522S, under Coach Joe’s guidance, achieved another victory with a first-place ranking and a first-place finish in the finals at the Saturday Bot Camp/Team 188 VEX IQ Robotics Competition. We are thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of our students and congratulate them on their hard work! At CSAA, we have been dedicated to refining our curriculum and teaching content for more than 7 years, nurturing and uplifting numerous STEM elites. Our mission is to provide high-quality STEM education to children, helping them develop the interests and skills necessary to become future leaders in their fields. We offer robotics and coding lessons designed to help your children build a strong foundational knowledge before diving into competitive robotics. All our teachers have a background in computer science and extensive experiences in teaching young children. CSAA is the ideal place to provide your children with the right STEM education. 


What is the VEX IQ Robotics Competition?

VEX IQ Challenges are robotics competitions designed for students in elementary and middle schools. These competitions challenge students’ abilities to design, build, and program robots to complete various tasks. The competition is structured with local, regional, national, and world-level events, providing students with opportunities to demonstrate their skills on the global stage. It is an excellent opportunity for students to develop teamwork, communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and gain a deeper understanding of STEM.

Why should your kids learn robotics? 

Students received many takeaways from our robotic lessons. For example, robotics can help students build problem solving skills and develop critical thinking. It involved designing, building and programming, requiring the student’s ability in thinking outside of the box and learning to diagnose the issue and troubleshooting the software or hardware components. Hands on learning with physical components such as motors and sensors, engaged students in experiment, test, and iteration. Students are required to think critically about how different parts work together and often need to analyze and apply their knowledge in science when building their own project. CSAA’s unique curriculum opens the opportunities to students in working and thinking independently. Students often used their creativity and logical thinking in interpreting instructions by themselves with our professional teacher guiding them in observing and reflecting.
