VEX V5

VEX V5 provides educators with everything they need to spark student engagement and bring real-world robotics, engineering, and coding into the classroom—complete with durable hardware, versatile programming tools, and curriculum-aligned challenges that promote hands-on, collaborative learning.

At Bahrain Bayan School, we are proud to introduce VEX V5 — an advanced robotics platform that is transforming the way our students experience learning. With VEX V5’s powerful engineering and coding tools, we are enriching traditional education through hands-on, team-based challenges that inspire innovation, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of STEM concepts. This cutting-edge system empowers students to design, build, and program robots, bridging classroom learning with real-world problem-solving and preparing them for the future of technology.

What is VEX V5?

VEX V5 is an advanced robotics education platform designed to teach students real-world engineering, coding, and design skills through hands-on, team-based challenges. It offers:

A robust, metal-based robotics system with powerful motors, sensors, and structural components.
VEXcode, a coding environment that supports both block-based and text-based programming (Python, C++).
Compatibility with classroom and competition settings, including VEX Robotics Competitions.
Modular and scalable components that allow for customized robot builds across various complexity levels.
Integrated data collection and debugging tools to support engineering design and iteration.
