VEX STEM Labs
VEX Robotics partnered with teachers to create STEM Labs: free lesson plans designed for seamless classroom integration. Kiwibots have mapped these to the NZ Curriculum for even easier adoption.

Our role here at Kiwibots is to help educators with their work in sharing the love of STEM and inspiring a lifelong passion.
​
To help out with your lesson planning, we have all of the STEM Labs mapped to the relevant year levels so that you can quickly see if a certain STEM Lab will fulfil the Progress Outcomes you're after, or how much that Lab can support various Achievement Standards.​
These are available for free - simply click the link below to download and see the mapping.
If you are unsure about which VEX Product group best suits your students, check out the Curriculum Map for all VEX products that outlines all of the year levels and where they overlap.
VEX Certification
Anybody in New Zealand (teacher, coach, parent, anyone!), can gain VEX Certification online, opening up access to a growing global community of users and resources in many Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).
​
The VEX Certification System is available to all users at no cost and VEX and the REC Foundation have compiled many resources to help people gain their certification.​
​
The VEX Certification System demonstrates to other educators (and volunteers) that VEX certified educators understand the fundamentals of using and implementing VEX Robotics.
The VEX Certification System also allows REC Foundation volunteers to demonstrate competency in various aspect of running a REC Foundation event.
​
In addition to the lessons in the training courses, users will also have the opportunity to take practice exams, ensuring that they are completely prepared for the certification exam.
