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:
Fueling, Reinforcing habitual and autonomous learning via hands-on robotics and technology fun.  Build a generation competitive in science and technology.

Vision:
By starting today's students to robotics hands-on technology early on will prepare their ability to deal with complex technology in their future... No matter whether these students may become from engineers like roboticists, to other  professionals like doctors, lawyers,  schoolteachers. 

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.

education-centric

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.

learning tools

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”.
