Course Overview: Computer Science Independent Study Project
Through an independent study course, your kids can do a deeper dive into a content area that is of specific interest to them and gain more knowledge, skills, and expertise in this area. They can work on a specific project like:
- an engineering, science fair, or competition project
- a project for a college entrance or scholarship opportunity
- a project needed to build a portfolio that will help him/her in his/her career trajectory or work on building specific skills (i.e. coding programs, hardware, systems and processes).
Independent Studies are open to groups from 1-6 students who want to work on a specific project or content area with one of our incredible instructors. Projects and content areas must be within robotics, coding, design, or physical computing.
What’s Included: This program includes private instruction for the individual/group enrolled in the independent study project. The mentoring instructor will provide knowledge, expertise, support, and collaboration specific to the program goals and objectives with each student(s) in this program.

Note: Build a Robot K12 will only accept independent study proposals where there is a good match between the content area that needs to be supported and a mentoring instructor. We want to ensure that the independent study projects are a good fit for all, so that students will have the best chance at reaching their goals and objectives. If we do not think that we are the best support for a project proposal, then we will let you know and make sure that any deposits made for the independent study program are refunded.
