LEGO Robotics 1 - Build, Code, Play

Ten fast-moving sessions where K-2 makers turn LEGO SPIKE™ bricks into motor-powered, sensor-smart robots—no reading required. Kids snap together a model, drag-and-drop Icon or Word Blocks, and watch their creation dance, race, or beep before the lesson ends. Every class hits the build → code → play loop, teaching gears, motors, and logic the fun way while sparking big imagination.

Flexible enrollment: Tackle the full 10-session quest or drop in for single days—same hands-on magic, zero FOMO.
