VEX IQ Advanced Competition Training | Program overview

The program is benchmarked against the international VEX IQ competition. Students learn to optimize designs to the game rules and practice quick repairs and on-the-spot decisions in scrimmages. Engineering notebooks and technical presentations help students stand out in judging interviews and prepare for later technology contests and academic work.

What students learn and take away

  • Master advanced mechanical design and optimization
  • Build efficient autonomous programs
  • Learn data analysis and strategy
  • Build competition mindset and teamwork
  • Develop leadership and project management

Program highlights

Experienced competition coaches lead intensive, hands-on training. Local cups and Hong Kong qualifying-round events serve as real assessments. Schools can form a team, compete for school honors, and open a path to the Singapore Invitational and later Greater Bay Area or Asia events for strong performers.

Competitions and showcase opportunities

  • Islands Cup, Ying Lai Cup, Lee Wai Lee Cup, Hong Kong Cup
  • Hong Kong Junior Engineering Challenge (Hong Kong qualifying) preliminary
  • IDE Series Singapore VEX Invitational
  • Open days and STEM Week exhibitions

Skills for what comes next

The program focuses on advanced mechanical design and coding. Students use pneumatics, lifts, and gearboxes to improve robot performance. They also plan autonomous programs and match strategy, and practice repairs across multiple scrimmages to get ready for international VEX IQ events.

International exchange, school STEAM Day, and VEX GO

Beyond competitions, we bring overseas teams to Hong Kong so partner schools and students can share robotics and STEAM activities without traveling. We also have extensive experience running VEX GO courses and taster days. VEX GO interest classes can lead to local or overseas events. Below is a special VEX GO Mars Mission session we ran for the Scout Association.
