Our mission is to expose, educate and start a strong foundation in critical STEM skills for youth in a fun and engaging way.

All of our classes are engaging & interactive. We teach about both hardware & software and how they work together. Our classes are fun, hands on, project based that involve extensive interaction between hardware and software. You. are not sitting in front of a computer all of the time.

Each student receives and keeps their own personalized robot that they program which is included in the Level 1 fee. The robot is reused in the Level 2 course (making the Level 2 class less expensive).

In the Level 1 Robotics & Programming course, students build robots and use the computer programming language Scratch to “train” the robot to perform specific tasks (like chase your cat or dog) and complete challenges. Students learn about programming logic, loops, conditional statements and more. In addition to using the graphical programming interface students are given exposure to text based programming. Students learn to upload the programs they write to their computerized robots. They learn about the parts that make up the robot which includes the components on the main controller board and sensors. Students learn how to troubleshoot issues and work through solutions using trial and error techniques. The classes are fun, hands on and involve lots of getting up and down out of your seat to test your robot.

  • Course Fee Includes a Robot that the Student Keeps!
  • Prerequisites: None
