Our Programs
We offer two tracks: Spark.AI - our flagship AI learning program - and a full suite of robotics programs to build, compete, and advance. Choose the path that fits your student's interests and grade level.
Spark.AI
AI Learning Platform
- • What AI is and how it actually works
- • How machines learn from data
- • Computer vision, language models and ethics
- • Build a working AI project from scratch
Spark.AI
Most AI programs teach students to use AI. Spark.AI teaches them how it actually works. Students learn the math behind the algorithms - how models learn from data, how decisions get made, and how to build something real using that understanding. No black boxes.
No Prior Experience Needed
Built for curious students, not coders
Connects to Robotics
AI fundamentals tie directly to sensors, decisions, and automation
Project-Based
Every student finishes with a working AI project they built themselves
Program Details
- • Grades: 6–10
- • Experience: None required
- • Format: 5-day intensive, project-based sessions
- • Delivery: Hands-on notebooks, real AI tools, daily progress check-ins
Foundations of Robotics
Start your robotics journey through our Foundations of Robotics program, using LEGO® SPIKE Prime. Build the foundational skills to tackle competitive robotics (FLL) challenges or simply explore STEM through hands-on learning. Same great curriculum, two convenient time options to fit your schedule.
What Your Child Will Learn
Both time options cover the same comprehensive curriculum
Building & Movement
Robot assembly, basic programming, and precise movement control
Sensors & Navigation
Distance and color sensors, autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance
Advanced Integration
Multi-sensor programming, complex challenges, final showcase project
📚 After-School
Perfect for families who want a gradual, semester-long learning experience with weekly sessions.
☀️ Summer Camp
Dive deep during summer break! Same curriculum delivered in an intensive 2-week format for focused learning.
What Students Learn
- • Robot design and building with LEGO® Spike Prime
- • Block-based programming for sensors and motors
- • Innovation project research and presentation
- • Competition strategy and teamwork
- • Core values and gracious professionalism
- • Problem-solving under pressure
