What is Kids’ Coding and Robotics?
Our Kids’ Coding and Robotics program uses innovative, well-researched and tested methods for teaching technology skills to children, such as computer programming, robotics, and building blocks for electronics and engineering.
Empowering young learners, creating future leaders
Our creative computing instruction empowers learners and provides them with space to explore technology. This gives children a head start in critical 21st century skills like computational thinking and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) topics.
Skills developed through creative coding and programming also build important life and leadership abilities like problem solving, critical thinking, initiative, and confidence.
- Project based — Children end the course with a finished product they have created
- Learners transform from merely consumers of digital content to creators and designers
- Makes learning fun – Coding and programming activities are both entertaining and educational
- Developing children’s interest in computing and technology increases potential career fields and opens up entrepreneurial space
What we teach
Our core content includes:
Scratch (ages 7-14)
- Visual-oriented programming system using blocks of code to design and build interactive games
- Children can continue to use free online version on their own
- Demonstrates fundamental programming logic and principles
Micro:bit (ages 11 and up)
- Small computer unit that can be programmed simply to do many different tasks on its own
- At more advanced levels can be connected to and control other devices
- Transitions learners from on-screen only programming to programing external devices
Robotics (ages 12 and up)
- Children build working robots/devices with moving parts, sensors, and processor units
- Using computer or tablets, children create programs to make the robots move and act on command
- Builds from simple block-based programming to textual programming languages for advanced students
We offer workshops, classes, summer camps, and other opportunities for children to explore technology in a playful way. We run activities in our own center and we also partner with schools and organizations to bring our workshops there.
