Class Experience

Embark on a Pokémon-themed coding adventure in this interactive 5-day STEM course!

Your child will take their first steps into programming with the help of Botley the robot and beloved Pokémon characters! Each day, they'll build essential coding skills, learning how to think ahead, sequence instructions correctly, and program Botley to complete exciting challenges—no robot required!

🚀 Hands-on coding & problem-solving
Your child will practice giving precise commands—Right, Left, Forward, Backward, and Transmit—to successfully guide Botley through fun obstacles and missions.

🎯 Dynamic & interactive learning
Children will have the opportunity to explain coding concepts, assist peers, and develop confidence in their programming skills, all in a supportive and engaging environment.

📌 Flexible scheduling
I offer this 5-day course at various times—if you don’t see a week that fits your schedule, reach out, and I’ll work with you to find a time that works best!

✨ A fun STEM enrichment opportunity
Botley uses coding principles similar to Beebot, a tool many schools utilize in technology classes. This course reinforces key computational thinking skills in an exciting, game-inspired way!

⚠️ Class requires at least 2 students to run or it will be cancelled.
If you're interested in setting up a time or adjusting availability, feel free to contact me—I’m happy to accommodate!

Learning Goals

By the end of these sessions, your child will be able to understand that an algorithm is a set of instructions, program a toy by inputting a sequence of commands/codes, and predict how different sequences lead to different outcomes.
