VEX GO STEM Lab Unit Concepts

This table shows all of the VEX GO STEM Lab units and the main concepts covered in each one. Links are available to each Unit, from which the Unit Overview and individual Lab content can be viewed. 

All VEX GO STEM Labs follow the same Engage – Play – Share format. To learn more about what a STEM Labs is, see this article. To learn more about implementing a VEX GO STEM Lab Unit in your classroom, see this article.

To see how these Units can be sequenced together, see the VEX GO Cumulative Pacing Guide. To see how these STEM Lab Units connect to VEX GO Activity Series and Activities in a suggested sequence, see the 1:1 Pacing Guide.
