Engaging Students with Next Generation Physiological Interfaces
This session from the 2026 VEX Robotics Educators Conference highlights innovative approaches for engaging students in STEM through physiological computing and robotics. Dr. Chris Crawford, Associate Professor from the University of Alabama, shares how tools such as EEG/EMG sensors and robotics platforms have been used to make computing concepts hands-on and interactive. He also discusses recent work with VEX AIM to introduce students to data science and AI, demonstrating how real-time data and intelligent systems can spark curiosity and deepen student engagement in STEM. Watch this session to see Dr. Crawford introduce the latest version of his Neuroblock software, which integrates the VEX AIM Coding Robot with new consumer-grade physiological sensors.
