I have been amazed at the depth and rigor in computational thinking that my youngest students are able to do using VEX 123! The engaging stories, such as Dragon in the Village and Red Riding Robot allow the students to build on their prior knowledge with stories, but gives them such agency to truly apply algorithmic thinking, choose the right tools/codes, identify patterns in the code, and actively debug.
I was so excited I got to present these concepts and applications using VEX 123 at FETC in New Orleans this past January. I’ve linked the presentation here:
