Junior Robotics

Join us as we explore the world of coding & robotics! This class will expose our junior learners to all things Robotic! Students will rotate through learning with different types of robots and kits.

Robots include: 

  • Lego WeDo & Lego Essentials: where students use Scratch coding to create programs for robots built from Legos
  • Ozobots: bots that are programmed through color coding
  • MouseBots: use problem solving and sequencing to solve puzzles with a robot mouse
  • Edison: Design a Bot for Sumo Wrestling, create a maze for your bot to follow and more
  • Snap Circuits: discover the world of circuitry

Junior Robotics is designed for students aged 5 to 8 who may or may not have experience building with LEGOS and Robotics. In addition to learning coding and engineering concepts, students will also develop their literacy, math and social-emotional skills as they turn concepts into reality. Students learn to follow-instructions when building and programming their autonomous robots. They then get to explore and problem-solve while customizing their robotic designs. This class is designed for emergent readers (children still learning how to read).

Class size in limited to 8 children.
