Robot Lab

A 6-week beginner robotics course using mBots + block coding (mBlock).

Students learn to code and control mBots through hands-on challenges. We build core skills like sequencing, loops, and IF/THEN logic and then apply them using real sensors like line-following and obstacle avoidance. Students work in pairs with rotating roles so everyone gets coding time, hands-on robot time, and practice debugging. The final class includes a short parent mini showcase and certificates. 

No internet used (coding is done offline). All equipment provided.

By the end of the 6 weeks, students will be able to:

• Connect and program an mBot using block coding (mBlock)

• Control movement using speed, time, and turns

• Create sequences and loops (repeat patterns)

• Use IF/THEN logic to make decisions

• Program sensors (line-following and obstacle avoidance)

• Practice real debugging skills: test → change one thing → test again

When: 

Sunday 10:00-11:00 AM (Girls ages 8-10)

Space is limited to 10 students to keep the class hands-on and make sure enough support is available.

If a session is full, please join the waitlist. If we reach a minimum number of interested students for an additional time slot, we may open a second section. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a spot, but it ensures you’ll be contacted first if we add a new section or if a spot opens.
