The Build-Test-Iterate Cycle

At NGE Academy, robotics is more than just following instructions. We teach the engineering design process. Students learn how to identify problems, design mechanical solutions, and iterate on their designs, building critical thinking and teamwork skills.

How It Works

1

Phase 1: Mechanical Design

Students learn the physics of building sturdy, efficient mechanisms using the premier educational robotics platform: VEX IQ.

2

Phase 2: Sensors & Logic

We bring the robots to life. Kids learn how to integrate color, distance, and touch sensors so their robots can understand their environment.

3

Phase 3: Autonomous Coding

Students learn block-based and Python programming to code their robots to navigate challenges completely on their own.
