Copy of Robot and Coding After School Program (Thursday Weekly)

This after-school camp is inspired by the FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge fostering project-based learning that’s impactful and FUN. Students enjoy the friendly teamwork and learning from FLL Challenge missions without the stress of intense competition. With flexible sessions available, you can choose the ticket that perfectly aligns with your family's schedule.

Students will enjoy the fun-filled experience of this Once -A- Week's camp for 12 weeks through the Fall semester (skipping Thanksgiving week) including both instructional sessions and hands-on practice and wrap-up with a student demonstration at the last week. The program targets students ages 9 to 13 (grades 4-8). The sessions are a collaborative team setup where students explore STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) and delve into the captivating world of Lego robotics. Students will learn to code and master the art of building and programming robots to conquer exciting game missions.

Peer instructors empower students through problem-solving and hands-on learning, cultivating ownership of their educational journey.

Our program will equip your child with confidence and critical skills valuable in any future interest. At Queen City Robotics Alliance (QCRA), we want to do more than teach coding. We want to inspire all girls and boys to use their talents and abilities to think outside the box, to channel their ideas creatively, and most importantly, to have fun!

Currently, we do not have the funds to offer scholarships, but we're working hard to raise them. If we are able to provide scholarships in the future, they will be offered based on the following criteria:

If your student attends a Title I school, or receives government financial support. You can initiate the process by emailing [email protected]. We will follow up to determine your eligibility for assistance.

When applying, you’ll need to provide the attending school if you plan to take advantage of the Title I discount. We will accept various forms of documentation, such as a copy or photo of any official government financial assistance documentation (e.g., WIC, Medicaid, Section 8).

In the meantime, we encourage you to follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, or sign up for our newsletter through our website at queencityrobotics.org to stay updated on any future announcements.
