Are you looking for virtual STEM programs to get your kids through the COVID-19 crisis? We have found an exciting program your kids are sure to love! Engineering for Kids is offering Virtual Robotics Classes & Competitions. This program is available for two different age groups - ages 8-10 and ages 11-14 - and they are designed to get your kids thinking and help them stay engaged.
This program will feature weekly online video meetings where students will get help in small groups with learning to code virtual robots. According to Engineering for Kids Las Vegas West “The ‘gamified’ online robotics platform will allow students to program (code) their robot to complete challenges, some on their own time, and some during the scheduled class.”
Students attending the Virtual Robotics Classes will also have the opportunity to participate in regular tournament-style challenges against peers. This will help them see their own progress and be able to fix trouble spots.
The website for Engineering for Kids also states “By programming robots for a purpose, participants practice problem solving and logic skills, as well as math concepts such as degrees, and basic algebra and geometry. Students will also experience the use of motors, sensors, and the way robots affect our everyday lives.”
