Pear Tree School | Mondays-(Gr K to Gr 3 ) | Robotics | 2026 Jan 19 -Mar 09

This is a fully play-based robotics program that helps young children feel confident and excited around machines and robots. Every class uses stories, characters, and games to show kids that technology is friendly, approachable, and something they can control. The long-term goal is to plant early seeds of interest that may one day grow into engineering or tech careers.

Students explore a new type of robot each month. Through fun missions—rescuing characters, escaping silly monsters, guiding robots through obstacle runs, or joining robot dance-offs—children discover that robots respond to their ideas.

Kids use simple, Scratch-like coding on tablets to give commands. They immediately see their robot move, turn, react, or complete a task in the real world. This visible cause-and-effect is thrilling for them and builds deep confidence.

What kids get
• A new robot each month to keep curiosity fresh and reduce fear of machines
• Simple drag-and-drop coding that feels like play
• Instant, physical feedback as robots move based on their code
• Story missions that spark imagination, empathy, and creativity
• Fun robot games like soccer, red-light green-light, freeze tag, dance-offs, and obstacle runs
• Natural development of problem-solving, early engineering thinking, and teamwork
• A positive early relationship with technology and the first seeds of future STEM interest

The focus is fun first. But along the way, children learn that their ideas can control real robots—building confidence, curiosity, and excitement about the world of technology.

No experience needed. Just curiosity and a love for play.
