🚁 VEX DRONE COMPETITIONS ARE TAKING OFF IN AUSTRALIA! 🚁

2026 marks an exciting milestone! The very first year Australia will host VEX Drone competitions, and Goldfields STEM is proud to be forming an inaugural VEX Drone team to compete in Perth!

Designed for Year 9–12 students, VEX Drone challenges students to plan, code and fly autonomous drones in competition-style missions.

Participants develop real-world, industry-relevant skills including programming, systems thinking, problem solving, teamwork and communication - the same skills increasingly used across mining, engineering, automation and technology careers.

For students in the Goldfields, this is a rare opportunity to access world-class STEM competition pathways usually only available in metropolitan areas and to represent our region on a state (and potentially national) stage.

✨ Interested in joining the Goldfields STEM VEX Drone team or learning more?

πŸ‘‰ Follow Goldfields STEM, comment below, or send us a message to register your interest and be part of this exciting first year of drone competition in Australia.
