Other Projects that BIBO Members Support

BIBO mentors assist in operating a VEX IQ Robotics Programming Club at Catoctin High School. This is a once a month activity. Students learn at their pace to program a robot using VEX IQ Code and can expand using Python. Using the BIBO supplied VEX IQ robots, students test their programming and can create complex challenges.
