Enrichment Classes Manhattan Downtown – After-School & In-School

Bring our awesome classes to your school or organization for fun-filled STEAMtastic afternoons!

Our classes are designed to travel! We partner with after-school programs to bring engaging, hands-on robotics classes directly to students each week. Our skilled instructors provide everything needed for an exciting afternoon of robot-building fun.

Students will learn basic engineering lessons, build, and decorate their own robots to take home after each class!

Weekly

60-90 Minutes

In-Person Class

In all of our after-school weekly classes, we’ll feature a NEW, hands-on, robot project each week that children get to build and TAKE HOME afterward for more fun and learning.  ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW! With over 700 robots in our current curriculum (and many more in our vault), students can attend our classes for 8 years without repeating a project!

Mini Makers classes are designed specifically for our smallest builders (2-5 yrs old) and sometimes their grown-ups, introducing robotics concepts with a very accessible approach.

Robot Rookies (Pre-K & Kindergarten) will be working on robots designed specifically for this age group, allowing them to build as independently as possible.

Robot Builders is our signature robot-building class for 1st & 2nd graders, combining real electronics with creativity.

Robot Inventors is an advanced version of our signature classes for 3rd-5th grade, approximately 8-11 years old. These classes are great for new builders, as well as those seeking a more open-ended robot-building experience.

Robot Coder classes are currently a limited offering in Manhattan Downtown. If you’re interested in bringing these exciting coding classes to your school or organization, please get in touch! We’d be happy to explore options and availability for your school or organization.
