After- School Pick up Information

Our After-School Pick Up Program is an additional $50 a month and involves us meeting your child at school and transporting them to the Club (either waking or van), providing a small snack and supervised free time until their class starts at 3:30pm (or 2pm on Thursdays for Columbia). During free time they are encouraged to create in our makerspace, code, special activities, play games, do homework, the park if it’s nice or just hang out with friends. After their class ends at 4:45pm, if they arrived by van (Wade King, Happy Valley, Lowell, Silver Beach and Lynden - not Parkview nor Columbia) they will be driven back to their school for pick up at 5pm).

Membership Class Information

TechGurlz

TechGurlz is a creative/tech class for girls 5th-8th grade , or those identifying as girls, to explore technology through creative projects in a supportive, fun space. They will start with graphic design concepts, creating their own personal 3D logo and then 3D print it as a keychain or stamp. After they will move into wearable circuits, film making, laser cut jewelry, website creation or anywhere the class chooses to explore! This class begins January 15th. When you sign up you will be charged the prorated amount for January to hold your spot and then not again until Feb 1st.

Destination Imagination

Destination Imagination is a nationwide makerspace team competition that will help participants learn about the creative process, interpersonal skills, critical thinking, project management, team building, conflict resolution and resilience. In “DI” as we call it, each team of children will choose a challenge and then spend the fall preparing a solution that is presented at a competition in Seattle. Each week they will also practice a mini-STEM challenges. This class, under the guidance of a seasoned Destination Imagination instructor, takes working in teams and STEM to a whole new level while enjoying ALL the other benefits the Club offers! Grades 2nd-7th grade, please read more here.

Upper Elementary School Robots and Legos!

Robotics is a fun and easy way to get started with STEM while learning programming, engineering, & design principles. This class will guide students through beginner projects, introducing new concepts and skills using a variety of different robotic platforms including Lego® as well as working on the Sphero Global Challenge. and other competitions the class chooses. Grades 2nd-5th, please read more here.

Middle School Coding and Robotics Team

We love middle schoolers (5th-8th)!! In their classes they take over the Club and can choose either VEX Robotics Team or coding (except Friday’s class which is exclusively Robots). Our Robotics teams, in groups of 2-3, develop their math, engineering, coding and of course team-building skills as they work to compete in VEX challenges with the robots they design and build. This is a great way to get the jump on high school robotics as all BPS use the VEX system! Robotics Team members may come to more than one class as they prepare for VEX competitions! Grades 5th-8th, please read more about Robotics Team here and coding here.

Upper Elementary School Coding and STEM

Finally, you have made it to our main attraction! Our unique group coding classes balance screen time with hands-on activities and opportunities to create and explore a variety of activities including 3D printing, makerspace and basic robotics in addition to focusing on our signature coding curriculum that can take any coder where they want to be! Our coders will spend the 50-60 minutes coding, usually in Scratch, but we have many coding platforms to play with, as well as more social, team building STEM activities for 15-25 minutes. Each month we offer different coding challenges for them to show us their mad coding skills. Grades 3rd-5th (2nd graders with permission), please read more here and see Homeschool time at 2:00pm on Thursdays below!

Advanced Coding

For those 4th-7th graders who are very experienced in Scratch, can type well, have been at our Club more than 1.5 years (or get prior clearance) and are more focused on Coding than our STEM activities, we are now offering advanced coding. We recognize 5th-7th graders could take this class OR the middle school classes. The middle school classes are more social, self-paced, allow for Scratch and often still do the STEM activity (hopefully that helps you make a choice!)

Early Elementary School Coding, Robotics and STEM

Our unique K-2 group classes balance screen time with hands-on activities and opportunities to create and explore a variety of activities including 3D printing, Makerspace, science activities and basic robotics in addition to our signature coding curriculum that can take any little coder where they want to go! Basic reading is required, please read more here.

After School Pick up

On Monday or Wednesday one of our uniformed instructors will meet your child at Lowell pick up area and walk them down to the Coding Club, stopping at Larrabee if weather permits. Once at the Club, the kids will have free time to play games, hang out and eat snack while they wait for their 3:30pm class. This option is only available for members enrolled in a 3:30pm class on that day.
