Saturdays between September 20 to December 13, 2025 (12 sessions)

(excludes the Thanksgiving weekend (no session on Sat, Oct 11))

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.

Hands-on Assignment

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.

Learning Lessons

Hello World
Control Flow
Lists
Loops
Functions

Advanced Program (for senior / alumni students)

FIRST Robotic Competition - Industrial-sized Robot (3 months)

Buddy's First Steps

(truly Canadian)

Design, build, program, and test an industrial-sized robot.

Students leverage FIRST Robotics' WPILib integrated development environment to control the robot autonomously or driver operated, utilizing Python and Java programming languages.

Learning Lessons

6. Strings

7. Modules

8. Dictionaries

9. Files

10. Classes

Build the frame and body of the robot using the following tools:

Use a Genmitsu CNC 3018 PRO router (wood and metal) and

an Anycubic Kobra 2 3D printer (plastic).

Note: A special thank you to Bunkie Life for providing scrap wood materials.

Phase 2: $100.00 plus taxes

($4.55 per session per student)

January - February, 2026

Build Season

*** Promotion: Register by November 30 to waive the $50 registration fee! ***

March - April, 2026

District Events

April, 2026

Championships

Mondays (6:30 - 9 PM), Wednesdays (6:30 - 9 PM) and Saturdays (1 - 4 PM)
between January 5 to Feb 28, 2026 (22 sessions)
(excludes the Family Day weekend (no sessions on Sat, Feb 14 and Mon, Feb 16) 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.
