roboticsRobotics & Engineering
(Onsite enrichment for 5th through 9th grade, begins in the fall) Build and learn to code Robots! Learn to maneuver through exciting challenges using code. Learn how robots are used in the world. Students will culminate their experience with an on-site Robotics 'Sumo' tournament competition 4/8/26. Note: No class [winter class break] 12/17/25-1/14/2026, starts back on 1/21/24 and continues to April.
Robotics Jr BuilderJr Builders Beginning: Onsite enrichment for 2nd grade students learning to build and program robots using high-quality LEGO motors, gears, wheels, axles, and other technical components. Coding is icon-based for young learners. Jr Builders is offered twice a year for 6 weeks.
 
Advanced Jr Builders: An onsite enrichment geared to 3rd and 4th graders building programmable robots using high-quality LEGO motors, gears, wheels, axles, and other technical components. Students will learn to Code using word blocks in preparation for Robotics and Engineering. Jr Builders Advanced is offered twice a year for 6 weeks.
3d3D Print & Design: (6th grade through High School, onsite enrichment) Learn how to use a CAD (computer-assisted design) type software to design and print in 3D. Learn the intricacies and uses of 3D printing emerging technology. Create and print 3D projects to share. Designs will be printed and made available for pick up.  Enrichment meets weekly in the Fall.
 
Open Print Lab: (6th grade through High School, onsite enrichment) ONLY AVAILABLE to students who have successfully completed a fall "3D Print & Design" class. Bring inspired ideas & employ lab technology (laser/3D printer/CNC/sublimation printer) to complete designs. Students plan and create their own inspirations and use the lab equipment to print with teacher approval. Non-instructional-based, the teacher provides project guidance and lab technology oversight. Enrichment meets weekly in the Spring.
