/ Program Overview/

The Elementary Robotics Team focuses on developing technical creativity, foundational engineering skills, and early programming literacy.
Using kid-friendly robotics platforms such as LEGO® WeDo, LEGO® Spike Essential, and VEX IQ Beginner Kits, students learn how robots move, think, and solve problems.

1 . Robotics Foundations (Beginner Engineering)

Students explore:

How gears, levers, pulleys, and wheels work
How robots use motors to move
Simple mechanical design
How to strengthen or stabilize structures

Hands-on activities include:

Building simple cars, grabbers, arms, animals
Experimenting with movement using motors
Mini-build challenges every class

2.Introductory Coding (Block-Based Programming)

Using tools similar to Scratch or LEGO® apps:

Drag-and-drop coding
Sequences & loops
Basic logic and events
Coding robots to move, turn, and react

Coding missions include:

Robot Maze Escape
Treasure Hunt Coding Path
Dancing Robot

3.Creative Engineering Challenges

very few weeks, students complete fun STEM missions such as:

Bridge-building challenge
Tallest tower challenge
Robot speed contest
Obstacle course navigation

These missions develop problem-solving and team communication.

4.Early Robotics Competitions (FLL Explore style)

Students experience a simplified version of robotics competitions:

Team project presentations
Simple robot missions
Creative innovation challenges
Demonstration day for parents

Events & Workshops

Hands-on workshop where students:

Build mini robots
Learn about motors & sensors
Test and compete in fun races and obstacle courses

Design Thinking for Kids Workshop

Students learn how to:

Identify a problem
Brainstorm solutions
Build prototypes with LEGO® or VEX kits
Present ideas to the group

Mini Robotics Showcase

An end-of-term showcase where students demonstrate:

Robots they created
Coding skills
STEM projects
