To be honest, choosing a VEX robotics organization for a child can be quite a hassle.

In some institutions, classrooms are filled with attractive robots. After class, children take home a fully assembled model, and parents take photos and post them on social media, which looks quite impressive. However, when asked about how to compete and devise strategies, the teachers are hesitant and unable to answer. In other institutions, the brochures boast a long list of coaching titles, but when it comes to the competition field, when children encounter problems, the coaches panic even more than the children themselves.

After spending money and time, the child only learned to build blocks - this is the true feeling of many parents after choosing an institution.

What kind of institution is reliable? We have spent a long time researching the VEX brands on the market and found that there is one name that is almost inescapable on the competition stage - STEM STAR.

4 global championships, 43 world championship awards, over 7,000 award recipients, and 94 teams advancing to the world championship.

This is not the report card of a national training team, but the answer sheet submitted by STEM STAR in the past four seasons.

The VEX Robotics World Championships sees tens of thousands of teams from dozens of countries competing on the same stage. To be able to consistently deliver results for four consecutive years in such a competition is unparalleled in China.

Today, we will thoroughly dissect the ins and outs of this organization to see how it can achieve such a record.

1. Ten years of deep cultivation, originating from Jiao Tong University, firmly placing us at the forefront of the industry

STEM STAR was founded in 2016 and is affiliated with Shanghai Li'ai Education Technology Co., Ltd. Shanghai Jiao Tong UniversityIn collaboration with experts and professors from Tsinghua University, the University of British Columbia, and other institutions, a North American R&D center was established. This academic heritage has determined from the very beginning that it will not take the "fast track" approach.

It has been a full decade since we embarked on this journeyOver the past ten years, STEM STAR has successively accomplishedThree rounds of financing--Completed Series A financing in 2019, and consecutively completed Series B and Series B+ financing of 100 million yuan in 2021. In today's education and training industry, where scandals occur frequently, an institution that can continuously secure financing and operate steadily for ten years is itself a safety line of defense.

As of now, STEM STAR has opened over 140 learning centers in more than 70 cities both domestically and internationallyThis scale is not achieved through marketing hype, but through solid teaching achievements and word-of-mouth accumulation.

II. VEX record: 4 global championships, dominant performance

The VEX Robotics World Championships is"The world's largest robot competition" certified by Guinness World RecordsWinning the championship in this competition is the highest honor in the global youth robotics field.

III. The champion coach team is committed to improving teaching quality through "teaching competition"

VEX robotics is not about building blocks, but rather about integrationMechanical design, electronic engineering, software programming, strategic planning, team collaborationComprehensive athletics. This requires teachers not only to have a professional background, but also to possess practical experience and the ability to guide competitions.

The R&D team comprisesPeking University, Peking University, Zhejiang University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Southern CaliforniaProfessors, doctors, and scholars from prestigious universities, as well asGrand Slam coach in science and technology innovation competitions, world champion coach in robotics.

The most noteworthy thing is that STEM STAR has adhered to its principles for many years"Teaching Competition" --Every six months, without fail.

June 2025,The 18th Teaching Competition，Thousands of teachers compete on the same stage, covering Wedo, Scratch, Python, C++, andVEX robotIn core areas such as... The competition comprehensively assesses teachers' professional knowledge, logical thinking, hands-on building skills, teaching aid operation, and impromptu programming abilitiesRobot manipulation and strategic planningand other abilities.

The event that just concluded in June 2026The 20th Teaching CompetitionIt has also gatheredTeachers from over 70 cities and more than 140 campuses both domestically and internationallyCompete on the same stage.VEX IQ&GO TeamConduct specialized assessments centered around the topics of the new season. The competition setup fully reflects STEM STAR's rigorous pursuit of teaching qualityThe theoretical examination must score 90 or above to be considered qualifiedThe results are directly incorporated into the teacher promotion evaluation system.

While most institutions in the industry only engage in small-scale teaching discussions, STEM STAR has invested significant resources in meticulously preparing large-scale teacher competition activities. This unyielding commitment to teaching quality is extremely rare in the education industry, which is often driven by the pursuit of quick profits.

IV. From VEX GO to IQ, and then to VRC, a full-cycle training system

The VEX Robotics Competition is divided into different age groups and difficulty levels:VEX GO (for younger elementary school students), VEX IQ (for older elementary school students & middle school students), VEX VRC (for middle school students & high school students) STEM STAR has established a comprehensive system, ranging from introductory enlightenment to international competitionsFull-cycle cultivation system.
