Competitions

Academic Competition

LEX leads global hackathons, competitions, and olympiad programs, collaborating with partners across multiple countries to deliver high-impact academic experiences.

Robotics

VEX Asia Pacific Open with CREATE

A global hands-on robotics challenge where students design, build, and compete.

VEX is one of the world’s largest student robotics competitions, with over 1 million students across 70+ countries, and participation in South Korea continues to grow rapidly each year.

By launching the VEX Asia Pacific Open in partnership with CREATE, we are providing students with an additional high-level competition opportunity beyond the national rounds hosted by REC, opening a new pathway for teams to compete, collaborate, and challenge themselves on an international stage.

One of the world’s largest student robotics competitions.
VEX Asia Pacific Open currently features IQ and V5.
Standardized rules ensure equal competition with international teams.

NEW

The VEX Asia Pacific Open will launch for the first time in South Korea in collaboration with the CREATE organization, welcoming both local and international teams. The event is confirmed for January for the VEX IQ division, with details for the VEX V5 division to be announced soon.
