Students at a VEX competition pit

Built Around VEX.
Designed for Championships.

Robotics is one of Newton STEAM's core disciplines. Our coaches bring hands-on VEX competition experience to every session. Students don't just follow instructions — they design, fail, analyze, and rebuild.

Every student follows a structured engineering design process. By the time they step onto a competition field, they've built and tested their robot dozens of times.
