Welcome to our Winter 2026 Robotics and Programming Programs for grades K–12. Our curriculum offers a structured yet flexible pathway from exploration to competition readiness.

RoboQuests introduces young learners in K–2 to robotics through creative, hands-on activities. LaunchPad for grades 3 and up builds foundational skills in building and programming, sparking interest and confidence. RoboChamps takes students further, strengthening technical and strategic abilities for competitive robotics.

Students learn by doing, building robots, programming, applying the engineering design process, and developing problem-solving and teamwork skills. RoboQuests and LaunchPad require no prior experience. RoboChamps is ideal for students with prior exposure through our camps, workshops, or introductory courses and prepares them for competition-level robotics.
