Building Tomorrow's Engineers with VEX Robotics Competitions at UND 🤖⚙️

Описание: From the VEX Robotics North Dakota Signature at the Alerus Center to the VEX Robotics University North Dakota Signature at the Mall of America, UND is helping grow the pipeline of future engineering and computer science talent.

“VEX Robotics, to put it simply, is changing people’s lives,” says Andrew Dahlen, mechanical engineering lecturer at the UND College of Engineering & Mines. With 15+ years in the VEX community and experience as an emcee for the VEX Robotics World Championship, Dahlen helps champion VEX programming and events.

In this video, you’ll hear about why VEX matters — not just as a competition, but as a community that builds skills in robot design, programming, teamwork, and problem-solving.

“We see this as a pipeline for engineering talent and computer science talent,” explains Chad Frost, the college’s Director of Outreach, Recruitment & Career Development. “Anything we can do to make that pipeline bigger is beneficial not only to UND’s College of Engineering & Mines, but just to society in general.”

UND student Carter Malone reflects on how he got started in VEX Robotics in middle school — and why the community is what stands out most. “It really is so awesome to have such an amazing community that loves this sport so much.” Learn more about the UND College of Engineering & Mines: https://engineering.und.edu
