Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
In this class, kids learn about the essential components/parts that are required to build a functioning robot. They delve into the inner workings of robotics, learn about the role of each part, how they interact, and how they contribute to bringing a robot to life. This foundational class is essential before moving on to more advanced classes where they will build fully operational robots. 

I will show them a sample of each essential component and explain what it does and how it works. I will also relate the parts to the way human body functions to make the concepts more relevant and easier for them to understand.

NOTE: You DO NOT need to purchase anything extra for this class.

Learning Goals

At the end of this class, students will:
1. Understand all the essential components needed to build a functioning robot
2. Understand what each component does and how it functions
3. Understand how they all work together to bring the robot to life

I have a passion for the quality education for all kids. I am also a former math tutor where I taught math to students from all walks of life. I created A+ TutorSoft, commonly known as A+ Interactive Math - an online learning math learning curriculum. I am continuing to innovate the ways I can provide essential skills to new generation of kids. Kids Explore Robotics is the result of our passion (me and my son) to spread interest in robotics to young minds.
