Free Trial Classes
Grab a spot in our limited Free Trial sessions and experience the exciting world of robotics hands-on! Each student will receive our custom-designed robotics kit, and by end of the class will have made an Arduino based robot all by themselves, with the option to take everything home. Free Trial classes will take place in-person in Mountain View September 2-16. To schedule a visit, click the link below:

Some moments from our past and ongoing classes
How is Zoom attendance different from In-Person?
Q & A
Do we have to commit to the full 8 months?
No! While it is unlikely to happen, you can always pull out early. Payment is monthly, so you can always choose to discontinue at the end of a month.
Do we get to keep the kits and robots?
Yes! All robotic kits, components and supplies delivered as part of the sessions are yours to keep and continue learning with.
What happens if we miss a class?
Every session is recorded in high quality (the same instruction that zoom students see live during the class) and is made available to every student immediately after the class. Using this video the student can do the class from home whenever the time works best.
Additionally, every Saturday from 2pm to 5pm, we have an open labs time where any student can come in-person and do their class using the recorded video, in the presence of the same instructor for full live support.
What if a student is stuck on a task and is falling behind?
We will not let this happen. One hour of every day will be reserved for 1 on 1 with students who are facing any problems understanding a step, or technical issues, or equipment malfunctions and so on. Any student can call in via zoom or be present during this time, or additionally before or after the class to have their issues looked at.
What if my kid is too smart for the rest of the class and gets bored?
"Bored" is a state not allowed in our classes. Whenever a student is visibly finishing tasks early they will immediately get additional challenging tasks to complete while the rest of the students are working on the previous task.
What equipment do we need?
A Mac, Windows, or Linux laptop with administrative rights to install Arduino, Python and other programming tools. If you have a newer Mac or Windows laptop with only USB-C ports, you will need a USB-C to female USB adapter to be able to connect the Arduino to your computer. School issued Chromebooks are not recommended.
Equipment for attending from home?
Besides a computer:
-
Internet Access to download required tools and utilities
-
Ability to use zoom
-
Thats it, everything else will be provided in the mailed kit
