An inclusive and fun space where kids learn coding, STEM, and robotics while developing critical thinking skills.
Why The Coding + Robotics Club
We offer hands-on, in-person enrichment classes and camps that teach coding, 3D printing, Destination Imagination, makerspace, Lego®, robotics and drones to preschool-12th grade students. With experienced instructors, small class sizes, and self-paced curriculum, our classes deliver fun, inclusive, educational experiences in interactive environments made for learning, creating, and mastering technology skills and making friends.
Fostering Community and Connection
We create an environment that harbors tolerance and respect for each other. We encourage kids to collaborate to solve problems, get creative and bounce crazy ideas off each other, bond over challenges, and stay connected amidst COVID social distancing.
Small Classes
We keep our class sizes small, 6-1 ratio, to guarantee personalized attention to each child and allow the children to bond with each other and develop their social emotional skills that are so important in the real world.
Great Instructors
Our trained instructors work closely with your child to keep them motivated and excited. They promote a fun and social class environment and engage with every student in every class. All of them have prior experience working with children, and are pursuing careers in STEM. They love finding what motivates a kid and diving deep with them!
Self-Paced Learning
We have designed our classroom to be as kid-friendly as possible. Here, kids learn that they are the center of their learning experience and the teacher is a resource; their peers represent a wealth of knowledge; there is no such thing as a “wrong answer,” only a stepping stone to reaching their goal. In our self-paced classroom, a kid’s progress is not affected by the progress of others. As a result, students don’t have to learn at the “pace of the class,” but at exactly the pace that is right for them!
Why Coding + Robotics for Kids?
Develops their growth mindset and resilience
Coding helps kids connect their effort with success and recognize that their abilities can be improved through hard work and collaboration. They understand the importance of trial and error and learn to bounce back quickly from failure and try again.
Enhances problem-solving skills
Coding helps kids learn problem-solving skills and logic. It engages different parts of their brains and teaches kids to think sequentially while allowing them to be creative. Kids start to break down large problems into smaller parts to be able to solve them effectively.
Overtly engaging, interactive, and gratifying
Kids love computers, video games, and the prospect of making those games that they love. These games are easy to share with family and friends inside and outside the classroom. Adding to the appeal is coding’s instant and interactive feedback loop, making working through challenges instantly gratifying.
An economically valuable skill
Code.org reports that Computer Science majors attract 40% higher salaries than their non-coding peers. They predict there will be one million open jobs in computing as this decade opens, driving wages up even higher. As Marc Andreessen likes to say, “Software is eating the world.” So no matter what career a student pursues, a background in software will always come in handy. And that’s not to mention the possibility of launching a billion dollar tech startup in your 20s. ; )
