Welcome to RoboThink Land! As the newest roller coaster engineer, your child will help build the best amusement park they possibly can! Students will use motors, axles, gears and more to create a wide variety of theme park rides, including a Ferris Wheel and a roller coaster. Let’s bring this park to life! Ages 7 – 12

Taking a STEM class like RoboThink can be highly beneficial for a child’s development:

  • By engaging in hands-on, real-world activities, children learn to analyze situations, think critically, and develop effective problem-solving skills, which are valuable in various aspects of life.
  • STEM education fosters creativity and innovation by encouraging children to think outside the box. It cultivates an environment where they can experiment, explore, and develop new ideas. This creative thinking is crucial in finding innovative solutions to complex problems.
  • STEM classes cover science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and students can enhance their understanding and knowledge in these fields.
  • In today’s digital age, technology plays a crucial role in almost every aspect of life. STEM classes provide children with the opportunity to develop technological literacy and proficiency.
  • STEM classes often involve collaborative projects and group work, allowing children to develop teamwork and collaboration skills. They learn how to communicate effectively, delegate tasks, and work together towards a common goal.
