As already stated, blocks seem to be the foundational component between code.org, Sphero, and VEXiQ.  Once students are exposed to code.org type activities and Sphero they will be more successful with VEXiQ.  This is my firs experience with robotics and coding.  This new acquired knowledge will help be better prepared to teach computer science fundamentals and assist with the robotics team at our school.

One of my recommendations is to allow ALL students to participate. It's all about EQUITY.

Initially, I felt like a newborn attempting to walk.  I now understand the basics, but I need more exploration and practice.  My big takeaway for implementing VEXiQ in my classroom is to give  students the opportunity to develop computer science and coding skills by allowing them to be persistent and make mistakes.

Make sure to always double check the parts. There are errors in the manual regarding the parts.I figured this out towards the end. The parts are numbered, and even have the degrees on them. They are tiny numbers, so its hard to see, but they are there.

All 3 use blockly to program the robots

I have a better understanding of the importance of having a Coding and Robotics "curriculum" that spans all grade levels. These programs all build on each other.

I gained the knowledge to address many tech issues that would have otherwise taken time from the students.

All three uses block programming which I think would make transitioning between each platform easier.
