Unlock your child’s potential with our hands-on robotics course, designed to teach both the technical skills and soft skills crucial for future success. Our unique approach goes beyond the fundamentals of engineering, physics, programming, and problem-solving to foster creativity, teamwork, and leadership. In this course, students will: Introduction to Physics, Mechanics, and Coding – Using age-appropriate tools and techniques, children will design and build their own robots, transforming creative ideas into functioning models. Through hands-on, child-led projects, they’ll explore the core concepts of robotics while developing problem-solving skills in a dynamic, engaging environment. This process helps children strengthen their leadership and collaborative abilities while making learning fun. Explore Engineering Design and Technology – Students will take ownership of their projects, designing their robots from the ground up. They’ll learn the engineering design process from brainstorming to implementation, gaining valuable experience in idea generation, prototyping, and presentation. By applying a "quick-to-fail" method, inspired by industry leaders like Google, children are encouraged to experiment, learn from their mistakes, and improve their designs in real-time. Tackle Real-World Challenges – Each week, students will face fun, real-world-inspired challenges that build critical thinking, teamwork, and innovation. They’ll apply the skills they’ve learned to solve these challenges collaboratively, gaining the confidence to take on increasingly complex problems. By the end of the course, participants will have constructed their own robots while developing a strong foundation in STEM, preparing them for future success in technology. Our location is at Herndon Pkwy/Dranesville Rd. Class length is 45 minutes. We’re so excited to embark on this robotics journey with your child!
