Class Experience

Introduce your child to the exciting world of coding and programming in this engaging 10-week STEM course with Botley the robot!

This beginner-friendly class will guide your child through essential coding concepts, teaching them how to give precise instructions to control Botley’s movements. Each week builds upon the previous lessons, reinforcing problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and sequencing—all in a fun and interactive environment.

✅ No robot or prior coding experience needed!
Your child will learn how to think ahead, break challenges into steps, and confidently program Botley using simple directional commands: Right, Left, Forward, Backward, and Transmit.

🚀 Hands-on learning & teamwork
Each session includes exciting challenges like navigating a maze, scoring a goal, and overcoming obstacles! Children will be encouraged to explain their thought process, assist peers, and build coding confidence in a supportive setting.

📖 Flexible and personalized pacing
Lessons will progress at the pace of the learners, ensuring every child has time to practice, refine their coding logic, and enjoy the experience.

🔎 Great STEM enrichment
Botley’s coding principles are similar to Bee-Bot, a robot often used in schools. This course is a fantastic way for children to strengthen their technology skills while having fun!

🎯 Try a one-time class first!
Not sure if this course is the right fit? Join a one-time session to see how your child enjoys it. If you don’t see a time that works, reach out—I’m happy to adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs!

🚨 This class requires at least two children to run, but I can switch to a 1-on-1 course upon request!

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.
