Unleash Your Child's Inner Innovator: From Simple Bots to Brilliant Creators This exciting course takes your child from building basic robots to designing and programming their own problem-solving machines. It's not just about building bots – it's about igniting critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, all while mastering the fundamentals of robotics and coding. This is a "drop-off" class, but parents are encourage to come in and see what the kids are doing the last 10 minutes of class. Here's what your child will experience: *Weekly Robot Adventures: Each week, they'll tackle a new robot build, exploring different designs and functionalities. Forget simple toys – these robots will perform real tasks, showcasing the power of their learned skills. *From Concrete to Code: The course bridges the gap between physical hardware and digital instructions. By building and then programming their robots, your child will understand the interplay between structure and software, a crucial foundation for future tech exploration. *Success, Struggle, and Sweet Victory: We believe in learning through both wins and challenges. The first half focuses on quick successes, building confidence and understanding. Then, they'll enter a "productive struggle" phase, applying their skills to solve a new problem. This guided struggle not only strengthens their abilities but also teaches them the joy of overcoming obstacles. More Than Just Tech Skills: This course goes beyond robotics and coding. Your child will develop essential life skills like following directions, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving, valuable assets in any future endeavor. Imagine the excitement: Your child proudly demonstrating their robot's unique skills. Their eyes lighting up as they crack the code for a challenging task. The confidence as they explain how their creation works, showcasing their newfound knowledge. This course is more than just robotics – it's an investment in your child's future as a creative thinker and problem solver.
