Courseware
These materials form the 2025 season courseware and are organized as a structured curriculum supporting both the in-class VEX elective and extracurricular team training. The courseware was developed collaboratively by Benjamin Jiang and faculty members. Some materials were created in earlier years and have been continuously refined. As the elective is designed specifically for students at Beijing Academy, all materials are provided in Chinese. Readers are welcome to use them for review and exploration.
