  Explore the world of robotics and learn to build and code your own robot. Curriculum is hands-on, mentored so suitable for Adults all the way to ages 8+. Curriculum is tailored to each person's level.

  Must purchase the kit: XPR Robotics Kit $95 via Nova Labs

  Using the Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) Kit, students will learn the fundamentals of engineering and programming. This is a beginner friendly, hands-on experience that will build confidence in a world that is increasingly more digital. Students will experience mechanics, electronics, design and programming.  This is a great entry into learning how building a robot works in a tangible way. 

  Students will build (and keep) an XRP robot and program it using Python to solve a unique game challenge. By programming their robots to perform simple tasks, students learn logic skills that translate into more difficult programming tasks.

  Students are encouraged to sign-up for additional sessions to modify and code their XRP robot to increase its capabilities. Each session will focus on solving a unique game challenge where students will expand and improve their programming skills. 

  Prerequisite: Ages: 8+ to Adult.

  *Ages 7-11 with parent/guardian. Parent/Child can share a kit or buy 2. See instructor for details.

  Instructor: Kelly Smith + Mark Smith-Guerrero
