NEXT SESSION STARTS Thursday, May 30
6.00p to 7.30p
$160/kid (7-14) – every Thursday for 4 weeks
Do you have kids who love building and using their imagination? Is there a budding engineer hiding in your house?
If they are between the ages of 7 and 14, our 4 week robotics hands-on workshop is the perfect place to turn their curiosity into creation! Your kids will learn to design, build, and program their own robots, all while developing essential STEM skills and teamwork. It’s a fun and exciting way to nurture their creativity, problem-solving abilities, and prepare them for the future of technology.
This workshop is led by AI & Robotics Academy (AIR), providing an engaging introduction and comprehensive overview of robotics, emphasizing on engineering, coding and creativity in young minds . Students will actively construct robots tailored to address practical, real-world challenges. Additionally, students will compete in-class robot challenges, fostering the development of critical thinking, problem-solving and teamwork skills throughout the program.
Each week:
– Introduction (10 minutes): Briefly introduce the week’s theme, learning objectives, and project.
– Building & Programming (60 minutes): Guide students through building their robots using components and programming.
– Challenges & Games (10 minutes): Set up activities and challenges, allowing students to test and improve their robots.
– Reflection & Discussion (10 minutes): Discuss challenges and learning to encourage team problem-solving.
This is a hands-on training. You will have time during class to create a finished robot projects for collaboration and competition. There are no prerequisites for this workshop.

HOST // David Voetmann
David, a lifelong designer and maker, spent his childhood in Africa. This formative experience instilled a conviction that it’s better to create your own solutions than to wait around hoping someone else will solve your problems. To this end, he earned a BFA in Industrial Design at the University of Washington. This study deepened an enduring conviction that solving problems and making things is deeply coded into our humanity. Over the last few years he has explored the transformation of our economy as new technologies democratize opportunity. He now runs The Facility Makerspace where ordinary people with extraordinary ideas gain access to an 11,000sf sandbox for innovation with all the tools, training, and community you need to turn thoughts into things.
