Workshop chaos ✨
They'll Build Robots. They'll Become Builders.
A warehouse-sized classroom where kids solder LEDs, program rovers, and go home with grease under their fingernails and a robot they built from scratch.
🔧 347 robots built last summer · ⭐ 4.9/5 from 200+ families · 📍 Austin, TX
Six weeks. Six real projects.
Each week ends with something a kid can hold, drive, or demo. Hover any week to see what they'll actually make.
💡 Circuits & Light
Solder your first LED. Learn what electricity actually is by touching it (safely). Build a glowing name tag to take home.
⚙️ Motors & Motion
Spin wheels. Reverse direction. Build a simple wheeled robot that moves in a square — and figure out why it doesn't on the first try.
👁️ Sensors & Decisions
Wire up an ultrasonic distance sensor. Write code that makes your robot brake before it hits a wall. Watch it actually work.
🕹️ Code & Control
Program a joystick controller. Race your rover against the kid next to you. Lose, debug, win.
🦾 Arm & Grab
Design and print a 3D gripper. Mount it on a servo arm. Write inverse kinematics by hand. It's harder than it sounds and more satisfying than anything.
🚀 Autonomous Mission
No remote. No joystick. Your robot navigates a full obstacle course on its own, using only the code you wrote. Demo day is Friday.

Real parts. Real tools. Real engineering.
Every camper gets a take-home kit. These aren't toys — they're the same components engineers use to prototype. Watch them fly into place.
Arduino Uno
The brain. Runs your code.
Servo Motor ×2
Precise angular movement.
Battery Pack
6xAA with switch & fuse.
Ultrasonic Sensor
Sees walls before you hit them.
Chassis Plate
Laser-cut acrylic base.
LED Strip
Because robots need personality.
Breadboard
400-tie solderless prototyping.
Googly Eyes
Non-negotiable. Every robot needs them.
Kit retail value: $94
Included in tuition. Yours to keep. No extra fees, no upsells.
