Happy Ada Lovelace Day!

Ada Lovelace helped lay the foundations for modern computing, and her legacy continues to inspire the next generation of STEM innovators! 🧠

With our Girl Powered initiative, we’re creating opportunities for girls to get hands-on with robotics, develop new skills and discover where their ideas can take them 🦾

From first builds to big ideas, there’s a place for every girl in STEM! 🚀

🚀Happy World Space Week!

From the Aussie outback to the outer reaches of space, big ideas start with curiosity, creativity and a willingness to have a go! 🌏

With VEX Robotics , students across Australia are learning to think like engineers - designing, building, coding, testing, tweaking (and sometimes rebuilding!) robots to take on new challenges. 🔧

The same skills that help a VEX team solve a tricky match-day problem can help shape the technology of tomorrow! Whether that’s here on Earth or somewhere beyond🪐

This World Space Week, let’s celebrate the students who are building, coding and dreaming big.

Because you never know where a great idea might take you! 💥

Have a go. Build it. Code it. Take it further. 🦾

What a great day at It Takes a Spark! in WA, with 700 regional students coming together to explore STEM, get hands-on and try something new 🤩

We loved seeing so many students getting stuck into VEX, working together, experimenting with their builds and having plenty of fun along the way!

A huge thanks to everyone who stopped by and got involved, and to the It Takes a Spark! team for putting together such a fantastic event. 🙌
