Robot 1, 2 & 3

Robot 1–3 form the foundation of our robotics program. These classes focus on helping students develop strong programming habits, logical thinking, and reliable robot control.

Students begin by learning how robots work and how programs control movement and sensors. As they progress, they are introduced to core programming concepts such as variables, structured programming, debugging, and testing.

By Robot 3, students learn how to make their robot perform consistently and predictably. They develop the ability to break complex problems into smaller parts, test their solutions, and refine their work intentionally.

These foundational classes prepare students for the demands of FIRST LEGO League and advanced programming.

Students develop:

• understanding of how robots and programs work
• confident use of variables and structured programming
• debugging and problem-solving skills
• precision, consistency, and reliability
• independence and confidence

FIRST LEGO League Experience Team

FIRST LEGO League Experience is where students begin applying their skills in a team environment using real competition tables and missions.

Students learn how to approach a competition table strategically, test their robot systematically, and improve their performance through iteration. They learn that success comes from careful testing, observation, and refinement.

This stage is critical in helping students transition from guided learning to independent problem solving.

Students develop:

• teamwork and collaboration
• structured testing and iteration
• competition table strategy
• resilience and persistence
• confidence applying their skills independently

Participation in FIRST LEGO League Experience is a key step in preparing students for advanced classes and competitive robotics.

Robot 4 & 5

Robot 4 and Robot 5 focus on developing advanced computational thinking, independence, and engineering mindset.

In Robot 4, students deepen their understanding of variables and are introduced to lists, allowing them to manage more complex programs. The emphasis is on program structure, logical thinking, and debugging.

Robot 5 builds on this foundation by focusing on competition strategy, structured testing, iteration, and data logging. Students learn how to refine their work through observation, analysis, and disciplined improvement.

These classes place strong emphasis on soft skills such as patience, independence, persistence, and ownership of their work.

Both Robot 4 and Robot 5 are designed to be taken multiple times, allowing students to fully develop the skills required for competitive robotics.

Students develop:

• advanced programming and computational thinking
• structured testing and iteration practices
• independence and problem-solving ability
• confidence working through complex challenges
• engineering mindset and discipline

Robot 5 classes are limited to a maximum of 6 students to ensure close guidance.
