Week 8

17 June 2026

Choice Build Workshop

Students work through a full-class build session where each group chooses one of three VEX IQ projects and focuses on completing it carefully.

Today's Activities

Choose one build with your group and stick with that project for the whole class.

Open your chosen build and follow the steps carefully from start to finish. Open Cableway Open Helicopter Open VEX Frog

Work with your group to check parts, compare progress, and help each other if a step is unclear.

Some parts in the instructions may not match your kit one-to-one, so use problem solving to work out the best part or the best way to solve the build step.

If your group chose VEX Frog, use the frog reference video if you need an extra example while building. Open Frog Reference Video

Pause and test sections of the build as you go instead of waiting until the very end.

If your build is finished, test it and make any fixes or improvements needed.

At the end, be ready to show your build and explain what your group found easy or challenging.
