Looking for a Fun and Engaging Program?

This after-school program 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.

Designed for ages 9 to 13 (grades 4–8), this program combines engaging instructional sessions with hands-on practice. In a collaborative team setting, students explore STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) through the captivating world of LEGO® robotics. They’ll learn to code, build, and program robots to tackle exciting game missions, all while developing problem-solving and teamwork skills.

To fit your family’s busy schedule, the 7-week Robot and Coding Spring Program offers two options: choose between Tuesday (1/6, 1/13, 1/20, 1/27, 2/3, 2/10, 2/17) or Thursday (1/8, 1/15, 1/22, 1/29, 2/5, 2/12, 2/19) sessions starting the week of January 5 till February 2/16. Classes meet once a week from 5:00 to 6:30 PM, with the Thursday option featuring a special introduction to Python coding for students who want to dive deeper.

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, channel their ideas creatively, and, most importantly, have fun!
