Vex 123 NS030

Through this course, we will introduce VEX 123 as a tool to engage with STEM and Computing Science in your classrooms. We will provide an overview of all the VEX 123 kit, how to use the different components and introduce the online infrastructures, such as STEM Labs, created by VEX to support the use of 123 in your setting. We will explore the 3 different ways to code, starting with the touch buttons, then the coder and finally the VEXcode 123 app, and gain a knowledge of where these can be used with learners from Early Years onwards. On completion of this training, you should be able to: Demonstrate a working knowledge of the VEX 123 resource and the online infrastructures to support Use the VexCode 123 coder and the app to program the resource Embed the use of the Vex 123 resources online, such as the STEM Labs and activities, to support and enhance learner outcomes
