- No Prerequisite
- Children must be going into Grade 1 or 2 in September 2022
- Max Class size is 6 students.
- Class is a week long half day program.
- Children will build and play with lego models, exploring how objects in the world around them have movement.
- Through experimenting and exploration the students will predict results of basic mechanical principles of gears, levers, pulleys and wheels and axles.
- They will be actively involved in creative thinking, problem solving and teamwork skills.
- Introduction of simple coding principles and environement.

Summer Pathfinders
Going into Grade 3 September 2022
CAD275/a week
- No Prerequisite
- Children must be going into Grade 3 in September 2022
- Max Class size is 6 students.
- Class is a week long half day program.
- Children will investigate compound simple machines that use their own energy.
- They will be estimating, predicting and problem solving more complicated lego models to investigate the relationships of more than one simple machine on a model and how they can effect the outcome of its movement.
- Simple coding skills will be introduced to get students familiar with programming environemnts. The lego models the students build will be interacting with eachother and their code.
- There is a structured time of learning.
Summer Pioneers
Going into Grade 4 September 2022
CAD395/a week
- No Prerequisite
- Students must be going into Grade 4 in September 2022
- Max Class size is 6 students.
- Program length is full day (9-4pm) for one week.
- Children will learn what a robot is, how it works, and what sensors are available to make it come to life.
- Through investigative work they will be introduce to robotics in their every day and will be tasked with creating a robotic world of their own. They will be strengthening their computer skills and analytical approaches.
- The students will likely be working in pairs which will compliment their communication skills and interactive group play.
- Students will be introduced to the block based SPIKE Prime Programming Environment.
- This is a completely structured learning class with opportunities for investigation, exploration and experimentation.
