Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis more than a year ago, working from home and taking online classes have become the new norm. Despite the difficulties, we remain vigilant, working and making the best with the opportunities presented to us. With that, we are continuing our support to teachers that are adapting to this new normal. CS2N Premium extensions and trials are still available to those who need them.
As always, we appreciate all of the support from the educators, coaches, and parents over the years. We continue to look forward to working with all, and together, we will reach the light at the end of this tunnel.
VRC: Applying for your Fabrication Foundations Micro-Certification As a member of a VEX Robotics Competition (VRC) team, you have built up a number of valuable technical skills. Micro-Certifications, brought to you by RECF and the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy, let you showcase these skills as part of a college application or resume, or simply let others know what you have accomplished through VRC.
The Robotics Integration Micro-Certification covers situations where technicians may receive a large industrial system that requires assembly and installation. Learners must provide evidence of unpacking and testing, testing navigation programming, and vision system integration.
