Play and Learn, It's going to be a Riot!
This course is curated for kids and teens in grades 3+
Come check out our Brand New Robot Riot, it's a fun way to learn computer science. Kids will race, crash, and have some fun competitions with robots all while learning how it all works!
Younger students can drive the robots and learn some basic programming, while older students can get into the details of the communication protocols and control systems. No experience is necessary.

This Class is curated for students in grades 3 through 6
Give your child the thrill of making their very first video game! In this free, one-hour event, kids in grades 3 through 6 will work alongside a live instructor to design a main character, add movement, and create simple challenges--then watch their game come to life. It’s a fun, beginner-friendly way to spark creativity, build problem-solving skills, and get them excited about technology. Presented by The League of Amazing Programmers! Registration is required.
Optionally, if your child wants to save their work, they will need to use Google, Microsoft, or Clever at the beginning of class to login to this website: https://arcade.makecode.com/
This Event is Tailored to kids in grades 8-12
What if your child could tell a robot exactly what to do, and watch it follow their commands? In this hands-on introductory workshop, students will step into the world of robotics and programming using FTC SIM, a free game-based simulator developed by FIRST Robotics Canada.
What They'll Learn: Students will control a virtual robot using keyboard commands and program it with drag-and-drop block coding to move, turn, and navigate through challenges. No prior coding experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to problem-solve. By the end of the hour, every student will have completed their first robot mission. Why This Matters: Learning to code builds more than tech skills. It strengthens logical thinking, persistence, and creativity. Students learn to break big problems into smaller steps, test their ideas, and iterate when things don't work the first time, skills that transfer far beyond the screen.
What to Expect:
- Guided instruction with time for hands-on exploration
- A fun puzzle challenge to apply what they've learned
- A supportive environment where mistakes are part of the process
What to Bring: Just your student! We'll provide computers. You are welcome to bring your computer as well. Learn more about FTC SIM: https://ftcsim.org
