My child took a class last year. Is it going to be the same? Not only does our curriculum change over time, we also make sure to have more curriculum available than any student can complete in one class. The core robotics concepts are the same from year to year, but the challenges and activities offered are different, helping returning students to build upon and extend their learning with new and different experiences.
My child has never taken any robotics class before. What do they need to know? Nothing. In every level of class that we teach, we differentiate our instruction to ensure that we give new students the opportunity to get the foundation they need as well as challenge experienced students. We do this by grouping them based on age and experience as well as modifying instruction as needed. Our summer classes overlap in ages to give you more flexibility in scheduling your summer activities.
Where do the after school classes take place? Our after school classes are held at your child's school and take place in the Large Group Instruction room. Your child will be directed to dismiss to that classroom if you have turned in a Change of Transportation Form (which is emailed to you one week prior to classes starting).
Can my child eat a snack in the after school program? We do not provide any snacks for students, but we give them time to eat any snacks they might bring during the first 10 minutes of class before they wash their hands and work with the robots. We are NOT a nut-free organization.
What are the dates of my child's class? Dates, times, and other specific information can be found on the page where you registered.
