BMES R&D provides an opportunity for students to learn various technical ans soft skills in the field of biomedical engineering and it's related disciplines. These skills are often used in many of the upper level classes, such as MATLAB programming, Arduino coding and circuit design, signal aquisition and noise reduction, teamwork and communication, and general anatomy and physiology, among others. For Engineering Expo, each project is carefully catered to the audience of young children and teens, with the hope of teaching and inspiring them to be more involved and interested in STEM.

For the 2022-2023 year, the Competitive Research and Development VEX U team will work together to complete the next VEX challenge. This challenge, or "Spin Up", consists of a primary objective to shoot foam disks into elevated goals, or high goals, on corners to the playing field. The teams will have two robots each, and can earn points by not only shooting the disks, but also by spinning rollers, and building the robotrs to expand on the field. We will be utilizing metal materials (aluminum channels and plates, screws, etc), motors, the VEXCode V5 software and other advanced materials to build our robots. Our goal is to make it as fas as we can in the VEC Championships. This is a safe learning environment and everyone is expected to be helpful and accepting towards each other.
