Every year, we tell ourselves that this year’s VEX Robotics World Championship was the best year so far – and 2024 is no exception! It’s so great to have teams from all over the world come to Dallas and compete together. We take pride in our community rising to the challenge this year, working together, and always finding new ways to top the previous year.
We also hosted educators for the VEX Robotics Educators Conference while the students were competing. Educators from around the globe came together during the competitions to share and learn the best practices, curriculum, and new ways to bring hands-on STEM education into their classrooms. The VEX Robotics Education team worked hard and succeeded in elevating this event to a new level.

While the students, parents, and their team coaches were competing here in Dallas, the VEX Robotics Education team was hosting educators who came to take part in the VEX Robotics Educators Conference, which happened April 29 – May 1.
This conference provides a platform for educators to exchange insights, learn from experts, and explore new methods for incorporating robotics, STEM, and computer science into their teaching. Featuring a rich program of presentations, hands-on workshops, and invaluable networking opportunities, participants left with enhanced abilities to introduce robotics into their classrooms or to refine their current educational approaches.
