First Robotics Explorer Team

1-3rd Grade

Our robotics group offers a fun and collaborative environment for young learners to explore the exciting world of robotics. Using kid-friendly tools and technologies, we guide children through the process of designing, building, and programming robots. Through hands-on experimentation and team-based projects, we foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills essential for success in today’s digital world. Our goal is to ignite a passion for STEM learning and inspire a lifelong love of exploration and discovery.

The Curriculum

Our goal is to instill confidence and develop powerful young citizens who have the desire to ask questions, the skills to analyze, and the opportunity to act on their ideas. We do not believe in forced time lines and standardized expectations. Our integrated approach means we discuss Literacy, Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, and Arts utilizing symbolic childhood languages.

Math

We begin with exploration and experimentation in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. These are the fundamentals that all science is based. We practice familiarity with science vocabulary and documentation.

Creativity

Creativity is not taught, it can be practiced, nurtured, and expressed. The work of educators is to collaborate with students to provide them the opportunities to build their imagination library. We learn how to see our environment and participate in collaborative relationships.

Languages

We are born with the desire to communicate, to understand, and to be understood. In combination with teaching English literacy, Language Lab explores multiple languages through songs and play.

Technology

We value real physical experiences in our curriculum and choose to view technology as a powerful educational tool and not a device for passive distraction. Our practice is to appropriately integrate the use of technology as a tool for education.

Music

More than just singing songs, we introduce beginning musical theory. Our age-appropriate curriculum promotes the development of musical understanding in order to set the stage for later vocal and instrumental education.
