Guide
Kenyan schools are moving from one-off robotics clubs to structured STEM pathways. This guide shows how to choose platforms, train teachers, budget correctly, and build a reliable competition pipeline.
Schools that win long-term choose one core platform per band instead of mixing many kits. Start with VEX GO for foundational engineering, move to VEX IQ for structured coding and competitions, then scale to VEX V5 for advanced robotics performance.
High-performing programs budget for field elements, batteries, replacement parts, coach upskilling, and event registration. Hardware is only one part of the learning outcome.
Teams improve fastest when classroom projects feed into local and national competitions. Plan your season around skills progression, scrimmages, and official game cycles.
