Monthly Tuition: $46
Homework: no
Hours/Week: 0
Max/Min Students: 12/9
Age Range: 7-10Welcome to the world of Robotics!
In this hands-on class, your young STEM explorer will begin to learn about the world of robotics using the VEX IQ robotic platform (https://www.vexrobotics.com). They will build different robots as they learn about gears, friction, center of gravity, robotic claws, mechanical advantage, and torque. The robots will become more complex as the year unfolds.
Students will be in different class teams of 2-3 students throughout the school year. Each team will have a robotics kit and all extra necessary robotics components. Several class competitions will occur throughout the school year with the robots they build and modify.
This class will allow students to learn the mechanical concepts of robotics, STEM critical thinking skills, problem-solving, working in teams, and winning and losing gracefully.
The age range is 7 - 10 y/o, but accommodations can be made for younger or slightly older students depending on maturity. Come to me with any questions.
Come explore the world of Robotics!

She began her homeschooling journey with her 3 sons in 2007. She worked with UTD during the 2014-2015 school year to form a competitive homeschool FIRST® FTC Robotics team due to her sons' interest in the STEM field. During the 2015-2016 school year, she co-coached a team with UD and served as an FTC competition judge. During the 2015-2016 Robotics season, her team made it to Regionals. She now teaches robotics at homeschool Co-Ops.
