Our Vex Robotics teams are open to any John Hardin High School student that wishes to join. It is preferred that joining members are either currently, or formerly enrolled in the school's PLTW course.  The skills used in the Vex Robotics program are taught in the PLTW courses and applied during preparation and competition of Vex Robotics. Students learn the design process, programming, build techniques, and numerous other skills in PLTW courses. As a member of the John Hardin Vex Robotics teams, students will take on a year-long engineering challenge as they research, design, build, test, evaluate, and refine their robot designs while documenting their work in an engineering journal. Students then compete with their robots on Saturday competitions around the state of Kentucky. Students may qualify for state, national, and world events.
