01 / WHAT IS VEX IQ?

Robotics, engineering & coding — for grades 2–7.

Our VEX IQ Program gives students in Grades 2–7 an exciting way to learn robotics, engineering, and programming in a fun, collaborative environment. Snap-together hardware means kids build real, working robots from day one — then program them with blocks, Python, or C as they grow.

06 / WHY VEX IQ AT SILVER OWL

Hands-on learning, real outcomes.

Whether beginner or experienced, every student gets to build, program, and compete — even in their first year.

01

Abstract thinking

Students learn to think beyond instructions. Through hands-on building and strategy, they develop genuine abstract-thinking skills.

02

Problem solving

Every challenge in VEX IQ is a puzzle. Students are encouraged to experiment, fail fast, iterate, and improve.

03

Community

Schools can’t always give every student equal involvement. Making sure they do is something we take pride in.

07 / FAQ

Common questions.

Anything not covered here? Book a call — we’ll walk you through it.

Yes — courses are independent. A common pairing is one Building course (B101 or B201) plus one Coding course (P101 or P201). Each course is billed separately at $480 per 8 classes.

The Lesson Program teaches skills through structured 8-week courses. The Competition Program applies those skills in real VEX IQ tournaments — it’s $220/month and requires a B101 and P101 understanding before joining. Most families do both at once.

If they’re in grades 2–4 and want a low-pressure intro, R101 is the right starting point. For fundamentals in both tracks, start with B101 + P101 (both have no prerequisites).

All lesson classes are recorded and available online. Each 8-class program also includes up to two make-up sessions.

Each 8-class course is a single commitment, so full refunds are not available after enrollment. Partial refunds may be considered case-by-case for serious illness or injury.

Our facility is in Richmond Hill, easily accessible from Markham, Richmond Hill, and across the Greater Toronto Area. Free parking on site.
