From curious builder to confident problem solver—your child’s next step in robotics.

This hands-on program goes beyond play and introduces students to real-world robotics in a structured, engaging way. Whether your child is just getting started or coming from our Explore Robotics program, they’ll now learn to think, build, and program like a true robotics designer.

In this course, students:

• Work with advanced educational robot kits, sensors, and motors
• Use microcontrollers like Micro:bit to bring robots to life with code
• Explore circuits and electronics using safe, snap-on components
• Build functional robots like robotic hands, drawing bots, or four-legged walkers
• Develop key skills like logic, precision, testing, and creative problem-solving

Every class is built on real applications. Kids program their robots to avoid obstacles, solve mazes, follow lines, and respond to sensor data—all while gaining a deeper understanding of how robots interact with the physical world.

Our curriculum aligns with the BC ADST standards and goes well beyond, with modules in:

• Navigation and movement
• Sensors and automation
• Circuitry and mechatronics
• Energy and power systems
• Robotics ethics and real-world challenges

Where does it all lead?
To future engineers, tech entrepreneurs, AI robotics designers—or any career where building, thinking, and solving with technology makes an impact.

No prior robotics experience is required—just a desire to explore, build, and create.
