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.

Join anytime! Students work at their own pace learning how to create apps that they can download and play on their own devices! 

Unit 1: Coordinates & Basic Commands is where all students should begin their journey into typing app coding. The apps in Unit 1 illustrate the use of 2D coordinates in graphics programming, as well as Bitsbox's fill, stamp, and text commands.

Unit 2: Variables & Simple Methods introduces the use of placeholders for values and making code easier to change.

Unit 3: Conditionals & Screen Interactions introduces how to run code if only certain conditions are met and shows how to use the tap and grab functions to create interactive apps.

Once students have mastered their current learning goal, they will learn to code with fun themed coding adventures such as Apposaurus Rex, Monkey Business, Top Secret or Super Powers! Students get to choose a theme and then work through a series of apps offered at a range of difficulties - perfect for programmers of all ages!

CLASS IS LIMITED TO 8 STUDENTS.

NOTE: B3 will provide the computers for programming. Students can then access the programs they create using QR Codes.

NOTE: Students must be able to read independently.

Tournament Night! Ages 9+ (teens and adults can join as well!)
We have finished building our Battle Bots! Join us for a Tournament Night as we practice battling with our Battle Bots! Tonight we Battle! Bring your own PLANT Class robot to practice your battling or borrow one of our robots for the night.

You can always join our Battle Bot Building and Design class next semester! 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!

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.
