Robot Works offers after-school and in-school programs
and workshops in basic and advanced robotics and robotics
programming for K through 12th graders, as well as tailored
robotics workshops for home-schoolers. Our programs are
fun, hands-on STEM learning experiences where students get
to design, build and program robots and test them against
other students’ robots in our exciting competitions. We also
conduct hands-on Saturday Robotics Workshops where
students not only get to build and program robots all day, but
can also participate in unique one-hour classes. The classes
cover a wide variety of robotics topics.
