VEX:

============

Computer Science and robotics go hand in hand. In this session learners use VEXcode VR to code a virtual robot using a block based coding environment powered by Scratch Blocks or a text based coding powered by Python. Using VEXcode VR and engaging robotics-based activities, students will learn about project flow, loops, conditionals and algorithms.

VEXcode VR is based on VEXcode, the same coding environment used for VEX 123, GO, IQ and V5 robots.

Come have FUN with us as we harness the opportunity to think, to imagine, to create and to explore!"

NOTE: The nature of the activity is such that you may interact with other people who are considered to be in good health, continuous physical distance between other people cannot be guaranteed, and, by participating in the activity, you are at risk of being infected by a pathogen, including but not limited to SARS-COV-2. SARS-COV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19, may exacerbate other health issues and is the cause of an ongoing global pandemic. SARS-COV-2 is highly communicable and dangerous. If you become infected with SARS-COV2, you may transmit it to other people even if you are not exhibiting symptoms of illness.

Communicable Disease Health & Safety Practices:

• Participants should assess themselves daily for symptoms of common cold, influenza, COVID-19, or other infectious respiratory disease before attending a program.

• Participants who are ill, including participants of essential service providers, should not attend a program or access the Community Centre. If you are unsure, you should self-isolate and contact 8-1-1 or the local public health unit.

• All participants are encouraged to practice proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette by covering coughs or sneezes.
