Good luck to each and every competitor in today's Skills BC Junior Online Coding Challenge! A special thank you to all of the hard-working British Columbia teachers who made today possible.

Introducing Robot Mesh Virtual Academy.

https://www.robotmesh.com/virtual-academy

Robot Mesh is announcing the soft launch of its brand-new Virtual Robotics Academy.

The idea is that a teacher or student without any previous programming experience can learn to program a virtual VEX robot (IQ and very soon V5) by playing through a series of guided tutorials.

There’s no reading involved. Each successive lesson uses a Mimic (simulation) of the VEX hardware to introduce a new programming block, concept, or sensor in a set of increasingly more interesting challenges.

The code that gets created during these demos can also be downloaded to a physical robot should one be present.

Best of all, you and your students will be learning how to program a VEX robot using a tournament legal programming environment.

This was something that we were hoping to debut at VEX Worlds in April, but the school closures have provided an opportunity for this soft-launch.

We will be adding new content weekly, and would love to hear your feedback. Tell your friends!

For a limited time, Robot Mesh Virtual Academy is free to use.
