VEXcode VR is a way to enrich the CS experience for students. To encourage self-directed learning, new projects can be created and played in seconds. Immediate feedback is provided and both data and the program execution is made visible for the learner.
The virtual robots and playgrounds of VEXcode VR are designed to supplement STEM learning, not to supplant the application of knowledge and skills, integrated through real-world experiences, while students collaborate with their peers -- the essence of STEM education.
To support the use of VEXcode VR there are many free resources available.
