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!

  • More Details

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!

By pairing real electronics with kid-friendly materials and our signature approach to building, kids of all ages are able to make amazing projects with us. And let’s not forget the creativity – each child’s imagination is an integral piece in bringing these whimsical designs to life!

A Glimpse Into Our Curriculum

Our builds are carefully curated to for different age groups. Scroll down or click on the images below to see where you can sign up for a class in that level!

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 & 1st Grade) 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-3rd graders, combining real electronics with creativity.

 

Robot Inventors is an advanced version of our signature classes for 3rd-5th grade. These classes are great for those seeking a more open-ended robot-building experience.

 

Robot Coders is the best combination of building, creativity, and programming for 6th-8th graders. Students will work in small groups to build, decorate, and program a new robot each week!
