WHAT OUR COMMUNITY SAY
I loved it! I saw the kids working together and crossing hurdles just by communicating to each other. It’s amazing!
Irma Arias-Zamora Elementary School Teacher, Teaching RoboRobo Robotics
Both my girls participated in Build a Robot this Fall and loved their experiences. They learned so much in the class and the teachers were excellent. I loved that besides the hands on learning, they also learned how to work
Jaime Van Bogart Parent of Build-A-Robot Learning Center in Superior
Build-A-Robot is an excellent addition to the local community. It is the only program I have seen that gives students the opportunity to learn real robotics. The access to hardware and world-class instructors is amazing.
JalalI Hartman CEO, Robauto
Our students have thoroughly enjoyed using the RoboRobo kits in our robotics enrichment program! The kits challenge them to think critically, and we have watched our students build their problem-solving skills as well as their teamwork skills. Our students take

Students learn to build robots using Robo Robo Kid robot kits - Lego-compatible bricks plus sensors, motors, and a CPU. Programming the robots is as simple as swiping a card in a card reader. Students learn to code on the robots, with online game-based curriculum, and with unplugged activities. Students will learn to program using commands like loops and events. Students learn to collaborate with others meaningfully, investigate different problem-solving techniques, persist in the face of difficult tasks, and learn about internet safety. Part of each class will be devoted to teaching life skills, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. Each student is required to buy or rent a robot kit from Build-a-Robot. Buying a robot allows students to bring the robot home between classes and keep at the end of the session. Renting a robot allows students to use the robot kit during classes. //buildarobotk12.com/index.php/classfaq/ 4:00 pm: Kindergarten Computer Science and Robotics4:00 pm: Kindergarten Computer Science and RoboticsOctober 28, 2019 – Build a Robot Learning Center 406 Center Drive, Suite C Superior, CO 80027 Superior 720-538-9008 Kindergarten Computer Science and Robotics 09/09/2019 - 12/09/2019 M, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Students will build robots and learn to code in a fun, supportive environment!

Starting off with simple, primitive shapes and building up to more sophisticated sprite-based games, students become familiar with the programming concepts and the design process computer scientists use daily. They then learn how these simpler constructs can be combined to create more complex programs. In the final project, students develop a personalized, interactive program. Along the way, they practice design, testing, and iteration, as they come to see that failure and debugging are an expected and valuable part of the programming process.

We'll solve robot challenges set up by the "City Shaper" competition, and will choose and solve a real-world problem in the Research Project and present our research and solution at the competition. Teams are also judged on "core values" - how well we work together as a team and with others, so we'll develop those skills too. It is challenging, but the team will learn tons and have lots of fun. Last year we won first place in Robot Design, and this year we plan to do even better! In these weekly sessions, team members work in groups to complete all aspects of the FLL Competition, including robot design, In preparing for the competition, team members develop their presentation skills, as well as their knowledge of robotics and STEM, as they must present their solution (with a dash of creativity) to judges. They also practice FLL core values, which emphasize discovery, teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Students will develop their programming skills, while exploring more deeply the role of hardware platforms in computing. Harkening back to the Input/Storage/Processing/Output model for a computer, students look towards modern “smart” devices to understand the ways in which non-traditional computing platforms take input and provide output in ways that couldn't be done with the traditional keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Using App Lab and Adafruit’s Circuit Playground, students develop programs that utilize the same hardware inputs and outputs that we see in many modern smart devices, and they get to see how a simple rough prototype can lead to a finished product. The unit concludes with a design challenge that asks students to use the Circuit Playground as the basis for an innovation of their own design. Class Meeting Dates and Time: 20 hours in class time. 5~10 hours of project time at home. At the last day of class, students will showcase their work. |

Last year we won first place in Robot Design, and this year we plan to do even better! In these weekly sessions, team members work in groups to complete all aspects of the FLL Competition, including robot design, In preparing for the competition, team members develop their presentation skills, as well as their knowledge of robotics and STEM, as they must present their solution (with a dash of creativity) to judges. They also practice FLL core values, which emphasize discovery, teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Students will develop their programming skills, while exploring more deeply the role of hardware platforms in computing. Harkening back to the Input/Storage/Processing/Output model for a computer, students look towards modern “smart” devices to understand the ways in which non-traditional computing platforms take input and provide output in ways that couldn't be done with the traditional keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Using App Lab and Adafruit’s Circuit Playground, students develop programs that utilize the same hardware inputs and outputs that we see in many modern smart devices, and they get to see how a simple rough prototype can lead to a finished product. The unit concludes with a design challenge that asks students to use the Circuit Playground as the basis for an innovation of their own design. Class Meeting Dates and Time: 20 hours in class time. 5~10 hours of project time at home. At the last day of class, students will showcase their work. |

Each student is required to buy or rent a robot kit from Build-a-Robot. Buying a robot allows students to bring the robot home between classes and keep at the end of the session. Renting a robot allows students to use the robot kits during classes. First class with Build A Robot?

New students start with the first level of the RoboRobo Kits, while continuing students will move onto higher levels of the kits. The students learn how to build robots using metal frames and beams, attaching sensors and motors, and programming them with a block-based editor. Coding continues to increase in functionality, both on the robots and with more challenging online puzzles and unplugged activities.

Students will develop their programming skills, while exploring more deeply the role of hardware platforms in computing. Harkening back to the Input/Storage/Processing/Output model for a computer, students look towards modern “smart” devices to understand the ways in which non-traditional computing platforms take input and provide output in ways that couldn't be done with the traditional keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Using App Lab and Adafruit’s Circuit Playground, students develop programs that utilize the same hardware inputs and outputs that we see in many modern smart devices, and they get to see how a simple rough prototype can lead to a finished product. The unit concludes with a design challenge that asks students to use the Circuit Playground as the basis for an innovation of their own design. Class Meeting Dates and Time: 20 hours in class time. 5~10 hours of project time at home. At the last day of class, students will showcase their work. |

Starting off with simple, primitive shapes and building up to more sophisticated sprite-based games, students become familiar with the programming concepts and the design process computer scientists use daily. They then learn how these simpler constructs can be combined to create more complex programs. In the final project, students develop a personalized, interactive program. Along the way, they practice design, testing, and iteration, as they come to see that failure and debugging are an expected and valuable part of the programming process.
