Why robotics? Because it’s exciting for students and is the premier vehicle for hands-on delivery of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts to students. Our robotics program provides an enjoyable yet challenging classroom environment in which students can develop important 21st-century skills such as creative problem-solving, communication of ideas, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. They learn while at the same time having Fun!

ROBOTICS with Lego WeDo
This is an exciting robotics programs for kids that enhances their interest to learn STEAM concepts. This course teaches a number of skills we use in the real world. This Beginner robotics programs lay a foundation in problem-solving skills and creativity as they learn to assemble the robot and enabling them to do certain actions.
When the robots fails to do what they are set out for, children have to troubleshoot to solve the issues and that develops their problem solving skills.
Students work as young scientists and engineers, while learning concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM). Students use the WeDo Robotics platform performing a series of theme-based activities and build models featuring working motors and sensors. They program their robot models using graphical software interface.
.
Students lean a broad range of Concepts Covering the STEAM areas
It’s not just building with legos or making the robots move. The process of learning is integrated with the fun projects that the students do. Learning is therefore effortless. Concepts from engineering, Simple machines, Biology, etc are introduced to the students.
Individualized Learning & Progress tracking
Individualized learning is possible as the students are guided using our state of the art computerized learning system while the teacher monitors and supports the students learning.
Senior Robotics
Welcome to the wonderful world of robots!
Senior robotics program for the Ages 8+ group introduces computer engineering concepts enabling the student to manipulate the robotics function to accomplish more challenging tasks like lifting objects or sensing obstructions, designing task specific attachments, etc. This course includes the specific set of skills that children require for even taking their learning to a competition level such as the FLL.
An additional online robot simulation combined with the Science Cosmos online learning system that has made this program very effective not just on-site but also with remote-learning mode of instruction.
ROBOT-C PROGRAMMING
This Robotics course for ages 10+ challenges them at the next level.
With limitless ability for the creative minds, children learn to use their programming skills in programming languages like Python and Robot-C. With a powerful feature set available in these industry standard programming languages, children are able to apply that to the world of Robotics and solve for real world programs that Robots can be powered to do. Students learn to write code to control sensors.
Children also design and create games that can be played in a multi-player environment. A good understanding of software engineering principle and programming will be required and developed during this course. This is challenging yet enjoyable.
ENGINEERING DESIGN & COMPUTING CONCEPTS WITH ROBOTICS
In the Design Engineering Projects, students are immersed in physical science, technology, and mathematics concepts. Students design, build, and test robots to complete a variety of tasks and challenges them to:
1. Design and build an autonomous robot that will accomplish the lesson’s goal. 2. Students will work to understand how to engineer an effective modelProgram their robot to achieve the goal. 3. Students will modify and test the design and the code to make it smarter and able to react to its environment. 4. Practice how to improve the code and design to perform complex tasks that work as a system5. Determine the most effective design and code for their robots to accomplish the goal and present their findings to their peers.
Progression and in-depth understanding
It’s not enough to merely build lego models. Students should understand the reason behind what they are doing and this is what we emphasize. Various challenges are presented and concept are reinforced, sometimes by repetition and testing. Students gain an intimate understanding on how to manipulate sensors and motors to accomplish the robots objectives.
Students Build, Program and Test Robots built using the LEGO EV3 Mindstorms platform incorporating various Sensors and Motors. In this course they learn how to Navigate the software Programing interface. Students learn how to use the Sound Sensor, Light Sensor, and Ultrasonic Sensors and more.
SCRATCH PROGRAMMING
“What is coding? What’s it used for and how does it work? This course will cover the fundamentals of coding and subroutine structures, from if-then-else loops to recursion and optimizing efficiency.”
Section I: The Variable
Section II: Loops
Section III: Efficient Coding and Debugging
By the end of this course, students will have a greater understanding of coding fundamentals and will be able to design their own programs and games.
Students who finish this course can transition into other courses such as Advanced Programming with Scratch or Introduction to Python.
This tracks explores the world of Robotics – whether it is with Legos or with several new Robot blocks that we have. Classes and Camps in this track allow learners to not only build the robots but also program them so that the robots perform the actions that they are designed to do. Several challenge problems (including some from advanced Robotics Competitions like FLL and Vex) are given to students for them to ideate and solve and implement.
This tracks explores the world of Programming & Game Design and sets students to learn and think like Software Engineers and Game Developers. Classes and Camps for programmers range from Scratch Jr for young beginners to advanced languages like Robot C, C, Java, Python, HTML, JavaScript and also to Mobile App Development for advanced programmers. For the passionate game designers, we explore the the world of 3D game development on Unity as well as program in Minecraft.
