We inspire your children's curiosity and creativity
to build tomorrow’s solutions.
They design, build, program, and test robots
that will further improve our quality of life.

​
2024 / 25 Schedule:
Phase 1: $50.00
September - December, 2024
Preparation
​
Saturdays between September 21 to December 14, 2024 (12 sessions)
(excludes the Thanksgiving weekend)
12:30 PM to 2 PM – senior / alumni students
2 to 4 PM – junior students
Assemble our team (students and mentors), fundraise and apply for grants, and develop skills. This is a wonderful time to join our team.
​
On a weekly basis, our team (grades 5 to 12) gather in our training studio for 3.5 hours to acquire vital STEM skills:
-
Beginner Program (for junior students)
Sparkfun - Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) Kit (3 months)
​
-
Build and program the robot using Blockly (visual block editor) and Python (text code editor) to complete the following activities:​
-
drive the robot​ (driver-operated and autonomously);
-
measure distances with the ultrasonic sensor;
-
sense and follow line with the line sensor;
-
pick up items with the servo arm;
-
and more.
​
-
This is a visual, drag-and-drop graphical programming system similar to Scratch. Blockly is a good choice for learners with little to no programming experience. ​
-
This is an easy-to-understand and good-to-start programming language. It makes it an ideal language for anyone to start their coding journey.

between January 6 to March 1, 2025 (20 sessions)
(excludes the Family Day weekend and the week of March break)
​
A new challenge is released in early January each year, which is the start of the build season. The build season is an intense period where our team designs, builds, and programs a new robot for the challenge.
​
​
Our team attends two district events in Ontario each year, competing with and against other teams in exciting, high-energy events. Competitions are 2.5 days long, either Friday to Sunday or Thursday to Saturday.
​
​
If our team performs well, we may qualify to the Provincial Championships and the World Championships, which were most recently held in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada and Houston, Texas, U.S.A., respectively.
