Robotics/ Coding/ AI

Tiny Tech Builders: Robotics, Coding & Intro to AI (Ages 4-5) 

In this 10-week beginner robotics course, students will build and code using LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential. Through playful, hands-on challenges, children learn early STEM skills such as sequencing, patterns, problem-solving, and teamwork.

We also introduce age-appropriate AI concepts by helping students understand how “smart technology” works in simple ways. Through stories, games, and demonstrations, students explore how computers follow instructions, use sensors, and make basic choices based on information. Each class includes build time, coding time, and a fun “show-and-tell” moment so students can share what their robot can do.

Skills kids will build:

  • Building and basic engineering with LEGO pieces
  • Early coding concepts (sequence, cause & effect, debugging)
  • Understanding how robots use sensors and follow instructions
  • Collaboration, communication, and confidence
  • Intro to AI ideas such as decision-making and using information

No experience needed — just curiosity!
