| 1) The ONLY Authorized LEGO MINDSTORMS Center in N.E. US. |
| 2) Instill a flavor of competitiveness with emphasis on collaboration. |
| Parents are invited to come in at the last day to observe a fun and friendly mini-contest or presentation. You will witness their children's achievement. |
| 3) Low and effective campers to instructor ratio. |
| From 6:1 to 10:1 participants to instructor ratio depending on the grade levels. Part of the tremendous value of Robotics for young students is teamwork. It is an un-effective method to have one person to work on his/her own. Participants will work in a team of two. A lot of brainstorming, strategizing together, and sharing ideas. |
| 4)Sophisticated computer lab. |
| All computers are installed within an enterprise level
of network configuration. Instructor can readily access all
machines as all machines are setup within an intranet. Internet is only
opened to students if required by the course. |
| 5) Goal getters participants... |
|
Most of our participants are high academic achievers in their schools. This has allowed us to continuously to expand levels of complexity. |
| 6) Strengthen the appreciation of "Power of Knowledge". |
|
We have received many alike comments from parents who compare our programs versus other robotics programs. Their children prefer our programs because they received continuous challenge in building, programming, and strategizing. In additional, they have a lot of intelligent fun. The success is only a side effect of the appreciation of "Power of Knowledge" instilled in our center. |
| 7) Highly qualified Staff with industrial experience. |
| The Founder has brought not only the technical skills
that academia requires, but also the competitiveness and level of work
ethics required in industrial technical market in order to be
successful.
Most classes for Gr. 8+ are taught by professionals with Master Degree in Science. We focus on robotics education for age 8 to high school throughout the whole year. This is run by staff who has accumulated a lot of robotics educational experience throughout the year, not just during school breaks. |
| 8) Uncompromising disciplines.. |
| Our center do not compromise our disciplines in order to create a supportive and friendly environment. All children not only must work towards a goal, but also MUST show respects to others. |
| 9) Our thematic workshops topics are truly engaging... |
|
All our workshops are thematic. All themes surround real world application. Some are
science-centric, some are more for bit humorous side. Our past
popular workshops have proven the success of our teaching method.
Creating such workshops are painstaking, and genuinely requires tremendous hardwork, talent, and expertise. Examples of our appealing themes: "Space expedition", "The Atoms Family", "NanoTech Mission", "Mission Ridiculous", "RoboDog vs. RoboMailman", "Revenge of RoboMailman", and many more. |
| 10) Stress on true robotics experience. |
| We use robotics learning tools which provide TRUE robotics experience, not like other easily assembled kits. Read the evaluation in the value between LEGO Robotics learning tools vs. most others out in the market commonly used in other workshops. You will see the great value LEGO MINDSTORMS offers over most others for elementary and middle schoolers. |
| Theme-based, and Goal-oriented . |
| Our robocamp programs focus on hands-on challenging and creative Fun with robotics technology. Each module has its own theme in order to encourage children's imagination developed to meet a certain goal. |
| Instill PRIDE with job of accomplishment with active learning. |
| We strive to ensure students should have leave our program with sense of accomplishment that they will be proud of. |
| True Robotics Experience. |
| 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. |
|
Our curriculum is built on rich materials from various prestigious
robotic institution. See what national
standards. Storming Robots:

|
| Ease-to-use for novice. |
| 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. |
| Advanced Challenge for expert. |
| For the more advanced: We provide more complex, mind-challenging robotics activities which may require complex programming logic even for college level. Our programs include advanced level, which guarantees a bundle of technical challenges and fun for the more advanced kids. The challenges are virtually endless. |
| From both named and anonymous feedback. |
| "Just want to tell you how much he liked the robocamp.
The instructor was great, and the non robotic lessons in physics, engineering were really
fantastic... Theo worked his brain..." -- Lisa Rabka, 2006 "... Alex loved the robocamp so much. He did not stop talking about how he programmed his robot. He is coming back to join the roboclub... --July, 2006 Click here to view other comments. |
| Our past 2006,2007 summer workshops - big success. |
| Most of modules for the summer 2006 were full by early June. Participants loved the mind challenge and had awesome time with technology, science experiments and all our mini-contests. Parents love to attend the final challenge to actually see how much their children have achieved. |
|
Group size is limited to maximum of 12 in 2007, with one
instructor, and one junior technical assistant.
Part of the tremendous value of Robotics for young students is teamwork. It is an un-effective method to have one person to work on his/her own. Participants will work in a team of two. There will be most 2 students sharing one computer. A lot of brainstorming, strategizing together, and sharing ideas. Available in three age groups:
