Robot and Coding 2025 Spring Program I

February 4 @ 8:00 am - March 11 @ 5:00 pm

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.

Students will enjoy the fun-filled experience of this 7 weeks program, once a week between the week of Feb 2 and Mar 17, during this Spring SemesterIt includes both instructional sessions and hands-on practice. The program is designed for 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, channel their ideas creatively, and most importantly, have fun!
