I loved it! I saw the kids working together and crossing hurdles just by communicating to each other. It’s amazing!
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
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.
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
Attending the learning center has become a highlight of our week! The instructors and staff are attentive to the children’s needs and strengths, they challenge them to grow and provide an environment where learning can truly flourish. We are thankful

1st Grade 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! 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. https://buildarobotk12.com/index.php/classfaq/

Middle School Computer Science: Interactive Games and Animations
09/16/2019 - 12/11/2019 W, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Through this program, the Interactive Games and Animations unit of code.org, students build on their coding experience as they create programmatic images, animations, interactive art, and games. 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.
Class Meeting Dates and Time:
Monday 9/16, No School, BVSD PD day, 9:00 AM ~ 4:00 PM (6 Hours)

2nd Grade Computer Science and Robotics
08/27/2019 - 12/13/2019 TU, 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Students build robots using Robo-Robo Kits, creating robots that increase in complexity throughout the semester. 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. Additional coding skills are learned by solving online puzzles and games, and with unplugged activities.
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 kits during classes. //buildarobotk12.com/index.php/classfaq/

Middle School Computer Science: Physical Computing
09/16/2019 - 12/11/2019 W, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Through this program, we will complete the Unit 6 of middle school students physical computing curriclum of code.org. 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:
Monday 9/16, No School, BVSD PD day, 9:00 AM ~ 4:00 PM (6 Hours)
