STEAM Creators Ages 6 – 9

Using Block Coding, our STEAM Creators class introducing students to Scratch, Edison Robots, Snap Circuits, Spike Essentials and more. Block Coding teaches the basics of working with code, variables & commands in a non-texted based environment. Students who wish to move beyond Block Coding can progress into Java Script.

This exciting hands-on class will introduce children to different elements of STEAM, while supporting them in nurturing and developing their primary interests. Whether your child would like to delve deeper into coding, explore the world of circuitry or build and code robots, this child-centered course will support your child's interests while exposing them to new skills.

STEAM Inventors Ages 10+

Using text-based codes Java Script and Python, students will have the opportunity to create apps, build and program robots (Edison Bots & Spike), learn about circuitry through solving Spintronics puzzles, Minecraft coding, problem solving and more! This class is 1.5 hours to allow introduction of new skills AND time to grow individual interests.

New This Year: Build Your Own BatttleBot Ages 9+ (teens and adults can join as well!)
We've gone from amazing to amazingly awesome - B3 is teaming up with Team Witch Doctor from Battlebots!

Starting this fall, our curriculum will include hands-on Battle Bot building and design. Dive into the world of mechanical engineering as you learn how to build, battle and repair your first Combat Robot! The goal of this class is to prepare you to compete at local tournaments on your own!

We will be building PLANT Class robots: Plastic Ant Class (no medal weapons or defense mechanism).

Optional: Purchase your very OWN robot to keep! You will build that robot and learn how to operate it and then get to keep your robot, which you can then use in local tournaments.

Junior STEAM Creators

A stepping stone from our STEAM Explorers class to our STEAM Creators - Junior STEAM Creators is designed for emergent readers to explore the world of Bricks Bots & Beakers.

BRICKS classes brainstorm, create, test, and redesign age appropriate projects exploring early engineering concepts. BOTS classes incorporate age appropriate coding and robotics using block coding while developing critical thinking skills. BEAKERS classes take natural scientists and introduces them to: science vocabulary, developing a hypotheses, making predictions, recording results and drawing conclusions. All of this happens in a curiosity driven, collaborative, small group class setting with experienced teachers who scaffold rich learning experiences.

Class is limited to 8 children.
