Understanding Robots Through Design,
Movement & Thinking
Interactive Robotics Concepts Course for Kids
In Intelligent Robot Creators, kids learn that robots are helpers designed by humans to do tricky, boring, or far-away tasks like cleaning floors, building cars, or exploring places such as Mars. Children discover that robots don’t “think” on their own; they follow instructions from a computer “brain” and use special parts to move, sense, and work.
As kids explore and design robots, they use many important thinking skills at once. They use creativity and imagination to design ideas, problem-solving to make things work, logical thinking to plan steps, and early math skills to think about direction, movement, and sequence.
Through games, movement, mapping, and hands-on challenges, children explore how robots; See using sensors; Move using motors; Think using instructions and signals; and Work using power like batteries.
This course helps kids understand how robots help people and how humans stay in charge by designing, guiding, and powering them.

Big Kids Academy: Robot Creators FAQ
No prior experience is needed.
All concepts are introduced in, age-appropriate way, using movement, mapping, and hands-on activities rather than technical tools.
Intelligent Robot Creators is an exploratory, concept-based introduction to robotics, focused on understanding how robots work and how humans design them; not on building or programming real machines.
Understand how robots are designed and controlled.
Practice logic, sequencing, and problem-solving.
Explore movement, direction, and spatial thinking.
Build confidence creating and explaining ideas.
Develop early engineering and computational thinking skills.
The course consists of 4 weekly sessions, each lasting exactly 40 minutes. We have found this to be the perfect "Active Engagement" window long enough to dive deep into nutrition, but short enough to keep every child focused and energized.
To keep our classroom a safe, private, and high-energy space for all children, we do not provide recordings. However, you can log in to our live Zoom sessions from any device, anywhere—so you never have to miss the fun!
We suggest the age range as a guide, but we know that parents know their children best! Our classes are designed so that each age group takes away different levels of understanding. No matter their age, they will learn at their own pace and find something fascinating. If you feel your child is ready to join the course, they are more than welcome.
We want you to feel confident joining the club! We offer a full refund if you cancel at least 14 days before the start date. If after the first session you feel it isn't the right fit, we offer a partial refund of $80. After that point, refunds are no longer available as your child's seat is reserved
