Looking for a FUN and Engaging After School Learning Activity?

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 12-week long program (from the week of 9/18 till the week of 12/11) with a 90-minute weekly session. Specially tailored 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.

Instructors empower students through problem-solving and hands-on learning, cultivating ownership of their educational journey.
