We’re proud to spotlight our sponsor, VEX Robotics — a global leader in inspiring the next generation through hands-on STEM learning. With a presence in more than 60 countries, VEX empowers millions of students worldwide to engage in engineering, coding, and problem-solving. From primary school right through to university, its programs spark curiosity, build confidence, and foster essential life skills such as teamwork, creativity, and resilience.

The momentum is building in Australia! VEX competitions are growing rapidly nationwide, giving students a platform to innovate, collaborate, and showcase their talents. The season will culminate with the Australian National VEX Robotics Championship on 6–7 December at the Adelaide Convention Centre — a showcase of technical excellence and the country’s brightest young STEM leaders.

The VEX Nationals is Australia’s largest annual school-based robotics competition, travelling to major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and more. It represents the culmination of a full season of dedication from more than 200 student teams across the country, all competing for the opportunity to qualify for the VEX Robotics World Championship in the United States in April.

In addition to the competition itself, the organisers are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help make the event a success. Roles include judges, scorers, queuing assistants, and more. Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring the smooth and efficient running of Nationals, and the Robotics Australia Group community is encouraged to take part.
