Camel Limited is a VEX Hong Kong authorised reseller and VEX official event partner, and the WhalesBot Hong Kong official agent.
Camel STEAM’s primary VEX IQ course targets P4–P6; secondary competition training suits S1–S6 and covers mechanical design, coding, and the engineering notebook.
Local cup pathways named on locked course pages include Islands Cup, Ying Loi Cup, Lee Wai Lee Cup, Hong Kong Cup, and the Hong Kong Junior Engineering Challenge (HK regional qualifier) preliminary.
What is VEX IQ
VEX IQ is a snap-together educational robotics platform, roughly suited to upper primary through early secondary. Hong Kong schools use it for classroom STEAM, clubs, and teams, and it can connect to local cups and competition pathways.
Students build chassis and mechanisms with plastic snap parts, then programme in blocks or text. It is not a single toy; it supports both lessons and team training.
Typical HK uses: school STEAM lessons, interest classes, team practice, and local cup experience. Buy kits on STEAM.HK; contest schedules on Asia Tech Tour; courses and team-start guidance on this page.
Next: Review the pathway below, or open Primary VEX IQ / Secondary VEX IQ.
Hong Kong pathway: VEX 123 → GO → IQ → V5 / AIM
Hong Kong’s pathway typically starts with VEX 123, moves through GO for upper-primary STEAM, uses IQ for contest readiness, then may advance to V5 metal systems; AIM can introduce AI vision. Schools choose by year group and goal.
VEX 123
- Typical HK fit: early years / lower primary
- Students leave with: simple commands & exploration
- Entry: course enquiry → quote
VEX GO
- Typical HK fit: upper-primary STEAM build & code
- Students leave with: mechanics basics, block coding
- Shop: GO category
VEX IQ
- Typical HK fit: upper primary–junior secondary; local cups / VIQRC-related path
- Students leave with: snap build, sensors, contest basics
- Shop: IQ category
VEX V5
- Typical HK fit: secondary metal competitive / advanced engineering
- Students leave with: metal structure, strategy, more autonomous coding
- Shop: V5 category
VEX AIM
- Typical HK fit: AI / vision intro (related course pages)
- Students leave with: object ID & smart-control experience
- Entry: course pages / quote
Schools need not buy every platform at once. Many start lessons or clubs on GO or IQ; contest teams often centre on IQ; secondary metal pathways may use V5. AIM can supplement AI vision—see course pages.

How schools start a VEX IQ team
Clarify year group and goals, choose VEX IQ, appoint a coach and practice slot, obtain kits, and build an engineering-notebook habit. Lesson hours and class formats can be designed around each school.
1. Year group & goal
2. Coach / teacher-in-charge
- Subject teacher, STEAM coordinator, or external coach
- On-campus training can start the path
3. Team size & roles
- Prefer a group that can attend practice reliably
- Rotate drive, build, code, and documentation (follow season rules and school context)
4. Kits
- Classrooms often use Education Kits; contest teams often need Competition Kits and spares
- Shop: steam.hk/vex
5. Engineering notebook
- Part of competition culture (named on the secondary course page)
- Record design, tests, and improvements
6. Hours & contests
- School-based / club / contest-team formats can be designed per school; do not invent fixed hour counts
- Local cups and VIQRC-related info → asiatechtour.com/vex
- Discuss hours via the quote page
Engineering notebook
Part of competition culture (named on the secondary course page); record design, tests, and improvements.
