Receiving and Loading Projects in Schools - Educator Resources - VEXcode VR

Once a VEXcode VR project has been created, there are a variety of ways to receive and open these projects. Because VEXcode VR is a browser-based program, .vrblocks file extensions cannot be directly opened by clicking on the file. There are multiple ways to receive and open VEXcode VR projects.
