VEX Robotics Elevates STEM Education with Competition Drone Offering and Revolutionary AI Coding Robot at ISTE Live

VEX AIR Competition Drone and VEX AIM Coding Robot expand hands-on learning experiences, making aeronautics and artificial intelligence accessible to students worldwide

SAN ANTONIO, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VEX Robotics, a leader in K-12 STEM education, is proud to feature its first drone product, the VEX AIR Competition Drone, alongside the innovative VEX AIM Coding Robot, at ISTELive 25. These offerings redefine STEM and computer science education, providing middle, high school and college students with unparalleled hands-on experiences in aeronautics, robotics and artificial intelligence.

The VEX AIM Coding Robot introduces a revolutionary approach to principles behind AI and computer science education – like pathfinding, automation, and sensor feedback. Designed for middle and high school students, VEX AIM makes complex artificial intelligence concepts accessible and engaging through playful, real-world learning. The technology behind VEX AIM teaches students how to use sensor-driven logic to navigate real-world problems. This reflects VEX Robotics' dedication to provide innovative, accessible educational tools that show students how computer science concepts apply directly to their world. For ISTELive 25, VEX will also unveil the VEX AIM Classroom Bundle, which will be on display at their booth. This multi-robot bundle is designed to help teachers organize VEX AIM in their classroom. 

The VEX AIR Competition Drone integrates aeronautics, robotics and coding into an advanced educational platform for high school and college students. As VEX Robotics' first drone product, VEX AIR offers a unique opportunity for students to engage with cutting-edge technology, apply hands-on STEM concepts and prepare for careers in aerospace and robotics. The VEX AIR Competition Drone equips educators with key tools to launch STEM learning: the drone, dual joystick controller, interchangeable mission modules, sensors, cameras, and headset.

"At VEX Robotics, we are committed to empowering students with the skills and experiences necessary for the jobs of tomorrow," said Jason McKenna, Vice President of Global Educational Strategy at VEX Robotics. "With VEX AIR, we're providing students with a hands-on experience that bridges the gap between theoretical STEM concepts and real-world applications, preparing them for the future of technology and innovation.
