elementary student programs (K-6)

Our youngest innovators (ages 4-10) can participate in our FIRST Lego League Discover and 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 (ages 9-16) work ~5 months meeting 2x-3x per week.  Teams range from beginning to advanced.

Our advanced elementary students can apply to become part of our National Robotics Challenge (NRC) teams.  These teams compete in a variety of challenges in smaller groups.  Students use robotic kits similar to our older students including gears, motors, programming, and remote control.  Students must be invited or tryout to join a team.

We are looking for volunteers 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 for students who are interested in joining our programs however cannot afford the costs.  If you would like to learn more about our tuition assistance program please contact us.  An application and essay including financial proof may be required to apply and receive assistance. 

Additionally, fundraising can reduce fees.
