What do participants do?
All programs involve hands-on experiments with exploring, designing, building from scratch, and programming for full automation. All programming is written on a PC and "transferred" to the MINDSTORMS robot. We the easy-to-use LEGO Mindstorms robotics component, but use a highly scalable programming software to accommodate various skill levels.
For the novice: Though the idea of programming robots may sound intimidating to some children, the LEGO MINDSTORMS system provides an easy and fun experience. The workshops offer a friendly teamwork-learning environment, and most children find it very intuitive within a short period of time.
For the more advanced: We provide more complex, mind-challenging robotics activities which may require complex programming logic even for college level. Our program includes advanced level which guarantees a bundle of technical challenges and fun for the more advanced kids. Challenges are virtually endless.

Participants get a glimpse of what artificial intelligence involves. All activities aim to instill PRIDE in kids as they watch their robots put into actions by their own programs. Kids absolutely LOVE the challenge of building these robots from scratch.

A friendly mini-contest can be incorporated at the end of each program.

For Who Workshops are usually divided into different grade levels:

2nd & 3rd graders

4th to 6th graders

6th to 8th graders

9th & up

Perfect for:

Boy/Girl scouts Team to earn their technology and science badges.

Troop Leaders, what is more appealing than a robotics activity which will reward your scouts with sense of achievement and earning their scout technology badges.

Elementary & Middle School Science Trip

Science teachers or parents, you may simply choose a school day, and contact us. We will arrange for your students a rewarding and challenging technology field trip at our center.

Teambuilding activities for corporate events.

Wish to arrange a teambuilding activities or group events with challenging fun relating to technology? You will find our engaging robotics activities a great and unique opportunity. You may choose a special date and time. Or, simply select one of our weekend workshops.

Schedule and Cost
From 2 to 4 hours depending upon complexity and age group.

Between 4 to 6pm from Sundays to Fridays. Reservation MUST be made at least 3 weeks ahead in order to secure a timeslot.

Cost for 2 hours short workshops:

2nd-3rd graders : $20.00 per participant.

4th-6th graders : $24.00 per participant.

6th-8th graders : $25.00 per participant.

8th & up : $25.00 per participant.

Minimum 8 children. Contact us for more details and obtain that will best fit your group's level.

Depends upon the availability of the computer lab.

Technology Day Trip Please contact us to obtain details.

For Scout All our robotics curriculum are multi-disciplinary. It will easily fulfill the requirements to complete most of scout's existing technology badge.
Discount is offered to Scout group.
Please contact us regarding badge earning. We may even try to work together to create more appropriate technology badges and submit to the counsel for approval.

Sample themes to select from:

Themes Description Technology value

Level I - 2 or 3 hours (depending upon grade levels)

Speed Racer Build your super speedy racer, program it to get ready race. Learn the engineering concept about gaining speed.

Robo Sumo Build your super strength Sumo and ready to push other sumo-bots out of the rink. Learn the engineering concept about gaining force.aining force.

Level II - 2 or 3 hours (depending upon grade levels & experience)

Bumper Car Race Race with other bumper cars inside an obstacle course. Learn how to build with and program with touch sensor

RoboSlalom Build and program robot to slalom through a winding hill. At the end of the route, your robot will even sing a victory song. Learn about gears, and programming to control speed, and play music.

Remote control car I Build and personalize your remote control car. Bring your favorite mini lego or other figures and let them ride in your remote control car. Learn how to build and program with multiple touch sensors.

Level III - 3 or 6 hours (depending upon grade levels & experience)

Remote control car II Build, personalize and program your remote control car capable of better maneuverability in treacherous terrain. Bring your favorite Lego mini-figures and let them ride in your remote control car. Learn how to build and program with multiple touch sensors. Learn the concept of multiplexing with sensors.

Music machine Build and program your first music box Learn about gears and programming to play music.

Hazmat Build a robotic cleaning device to clean up the nuclear mess! Learn how to build and program with light sensor.

Roadrunner in a maze This may not be the biggest maze in the world, but surely the coolest maze for your lego robot. The one who runs closest to the exit within the shortest time win. More complex programming skill with both light and touch sensor. Needless to say, strategic thinking is the key. is the key.

Level IV - Two 6 hours sessions (depending upon grade levels & experience)

Robo Sabotage O no! A roboTerminator roams around to secretly shutdown all our machines. We need your help to stop it from happening! Learn to enable as well as disabling communication among robots. You will learn to manipulate signal from one robot to another

Robot to Robot Talk These robots can chat with each other and even tells each other to sing specified tune. Cool! Learn to enable communication among robots. Send and receive signal from one robot to another.

Level V - Four 6 hours sessions (depending upon grade levels & experience)

Secret Agent 1 There are piles of plutonium stored inside a tunnel. Your mission is to tally the amount and report the number of the piles. Higher sophisticated programming skill with light sensor and motion control.

Secret Agent 2 There are multiple tunnels and one of them store the dangerous plutonium. The mission is to find this dangerous material. The unfortunate thing is we only have 2 minutes. Do you dare to take this challenge? Higher sophisticated programming skill with light sensor and motion control and require a lot of strategic thinking.
