Kids will learn the benefits of robotics used in manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, agriculture, construction, space exploration and military defense. The teacher will demonstrate robotic functions with his programmable robot and show the kids how you can change commands to the robot from a computer or an iPad. The kids will have an opportunity to build their own miniature robot, choosing from 15 different miniature motorized robots that walk, crawl, roll and spin. This will give kids a hands-on introduction to the basics of mechanical engineering. There is a $24 supply fee payable to the instructor when arriving to class for the robot the child gets to choose and keep.

NOTE: This special family program blends generations and enables grandparents (or parents) to participate in a class with a youthful partner. Any child registered for courses must be accompanied by a parent/guardian in order to attend classes. Attending adults must attend with a child. Adults cannot register without an attending child. When registering the younger participant(s), please use the adult's address so our staff and faculty will know which individuals are participating together. Refunds will be given if a cancellation request is received at least fourteen (14) business days prior to the start date of the class. All requests within that time period will have course fee forfeited.
