The Hour of AI is designed to open the door to AI literacy for all learners—no prior experience needed. Through simple, hands-on activities with robots, students discover how AI works, what it is capable of, and how they can shape it responsibly.
AI literacy gives students the skills to understand how intelligent systems learn and make decisions. With robots, learners can experiment, gather data, and observe AI concepts in action—making complex ideas clear and concrete.
VEX is supporting the Hour of AI by giving teachers hands-on activities that turn students into active explorers of AI, not just users of it. Through robotics challenges that reveal concepts like perception, sensing, and decision-making, learners test ideas, collect data, and see intelligent behaviors unfold in real time. These concrete experiences help demystify AI and spark the curiosity that leads to deeper understanding.
VEX Professional Development Plus (VEX PD+) gives teachers on-demand guidance, beginner-friendly videos, and a community of educators to learn from. Explore teaching strategies, planning support, and tips for using VEX platforms—whenever you need them.
