The world of robotics is no longer limited to hardware or physical components. With VEXcode
VR, students can now learn, build and experiment with robots in a fully virtual environment.
It combines the excitement of robotics with the creativity of coding, all inside your web browser.

INTRODUCTION TO VEXCODE VR

VEXcode VR is an online coding environment that allows students to program a virtual robot
using block-based or text-based coding. It is part of the VEX Robotics learning platform and can
be accessed directly from any web browser, with no installation required.

The platform helps learners understand robotics, automation and computational thinking by
allowing them to experiment in different virtual playgrounds. From simple movement to complex
navigation, VEXcode VR makes programming both interactive and engaging.
