Our background in education and a curriculum grounded in early childhood education theory means Bricks Bots Beakers classes for preschoolers get kids truly thinking and problem solving. BRICKS classes are more than just copying a picture of a simple build. Preschoolers brainstorm, create, test, and redesign age appropriate projects. BOTS classes incorporate age appropriate coding. BEAKERS classes take natural scientists (aka preschool children) 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.

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.

Join our Coding & Robotics Club for Homeschoolers!

Students will be exposed to both Coding and Robotics.

Robotics Options include: Spike PRIME Robotics, WeDo Robotics, Edison & Spike Essentials Robotics

Coding Options include: KidsCode (Python) or Scratch

Depending on the age of the students, different options will be available.

This is a multi-age group - ranging from ages 8 to 12
