elementary student programs (K-6)

Our youngest innovators (grade K-3) can participate in our FIRST Lego League Explorer teams.  Programs use Lego elements to introduce students to engineering and logic concepts through a fun story environment.  Students meet 1x - 2x per week after school and celebrate what they have learned at the end of the season during a festival awards.

First Lego League Challenge (FLL-C) uses Lego Spike Prime to challenge students in a 2.5 minute autonomous robot game.  Students learn the FIRST core values and apply them through robot design, game competition, and a research project based on the year's theme.  Students (grades 3-7) meet 2x per week.  August - February.  Tryouts are required.

VEX IQ uses the VEX system and a fun annual game to learn about engineering and coding.  Students use Python to code a robot that competes in a 1 minute game with an alliance member.  Students (grades 6-8) meet 2x per week and work in small groups in their team to design the best robot and strategy to maximize their points.  Tryouts are required.

We are looking for volunteers and mentors to help our center grow.  Volunteers work together and are trained to help you guide our students to their best abilities.  Volunteers will receive credit for their students, shirt, and help shape the center for the future programs we offer.  Contact us to learn more.

We are offering tuition assistance and fundraising options to reduce or even eliminate program costs for our competition teams.  To fill out an application you must click on the sign up now button and create an account in Playmetrics.  From there fill out our tuition assistance form or contact us.
