| Who we are... | ||
| Storming Robots is an enrichment
learning center which focuses on using robotics as means to
inspire children's interest and further challenge their
intellect in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics,
(S.T.E.M.), analytical, and strategic thinking. We offer a variety of
programs for children focusing on engaging hands-on exploration
in robots design skill, building, and programming.
Mission Statement:
Vision: Our programs not only aim to "Infuse Robotics Science in The Future Generations", but more importantly, build a generation who loves and appreciates challenges and savors the awards of solving them. |

We take robotics education to the next level above most afterschool enrichment. It's more than your average after school or extracurricular activities. We utilize curriculum designed by renowned robotics institutions, such as the Robotics Academy at the Carnegie Mellon University, the Robotics Educator Projects by NASA, Tufts University, and numerous other enthusiastic robotics communities. The majority of our exercises are conducted with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotics Technology and the software ROBOLAB as the learning tools. |
||
| Why robotics is so valuable... | ||
| Robotics is inherently multi-disciplinary.
Not only it covers S.T.E.M., it also extends in realm of
invaluable skills such as communication, research, project
management, writing, strategic and analytical thinking.

A joint effort from MIT, Tufts University, and LEGO has brought the intriguing world of robotics technology to our children. We choose the awarding winning LEGO® MINDSTORMTM Robotics Technology, various science related and hands-on technology from LEGO Science Education division, and a visual-based programming language RobolabTM. The software RobolabTM facilitates progressive levels of learning environment for students from as young as 8-year-old, to a post-graduate. We continuously evaluate great various learning tools for different levels of interests. This will extend our programming environment to C, C++, Java, and possibly other industrial software gives your children a head start. |
| why mindstorms? |
| One of the most wonderful things about LEGO
robotics technology is that you get the most learning value with
the least amount of time and money. The excitement from
challenge is TRULY ENDLESS. With
the LEGO robotics technology, you don't have to be in a machine
shop in order to build a robot. You can build, polish, and repair
your robot in a much shorter time frame so that you can focus on
the academic learning aspect of it.
With Robotics Technology developed by the LEGO Company and the MIT Media Lab. This has brought the intricate robotics technology to our children. Children are given the power to build and program a wide variety of robots from simple autonomous vehicles to more advanced robotic “arms”. |
