This free, parent-friendly course helps you support your student’s robotics journey without needing an engineering degree. Learn how VEX IQ and VRC competitions work, how teams are scored, and how you can contribute to the build, code, or tournament day experience — even if you're just learning the difference between a motor and a sensor.


What You’ll Get:

  • The RCR VEX Parent Coaching Kit (PDF download)
  • Short videos on robot basics, VEXcode, and competition flow
  • Cheat sheets for game rules, roles, and what to pack
  • Community tools: how to set up a parent group and keep communication smooth
