Robotics For Kids

The hands-on nature of robotics makes it a great way to introduce kids to coding because it makes abstract concepts tangible and fun. By programming robots to perform tasks, students see their code come to life, which makes learning more engaging. Robotics for kids also offers exciting future career opportunities in fields such as self-driving cars, manufacturing, healthcare, and space exploration. The recent development of AI also makes it one of the areas that will likely have huge breakthroughs in the years to come. Our award-winning live online robotics classes run on powerful simulators, while students also have the option of getting hardware at home if they prefer.

What Is Robotics For Kids?

Robotics for kids is all about designing, building, and programing robots that can perform tasks or solve problems. It combines creativity with engineering and coding, allowing kids to explore technology in a hands-on, fun way. From programming a robot to follow a path to building smart devices that respond to their environment, robotics helps kids develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Robotics is already everywhere in our world - from our houses (e.g. iRobot vacuum) to Amazon's warehouses, to automobile assembly lines and space shuttles. Robots like NASA's Mars Rover explore distant planets where humans can’t go. In hospitals, robots assist doctors with surgeries. And companies such as Google use robotics and AI to create self-driving cars that navigate roads, avoid obstacles, and follow traffic rules, all without a human driver!

Kids who enjoy building things get excited about robotics pretty easily. There are also some really cool movies about robots such as Big Hero 6, WALL-E, and Robots that show different aspects of robots. By learning robotics, kids gain practical skills that not only prepare them for the future, but also spark their curiosity and innovation!

Robotics Careers: Imagine Your Child's Future

Your child could become a Robotics Engineer working on the Mars Rovers or other space exploration robots. These engineers program the robots to perform tasks autonomously, like driving across Mars' surface, avoiding obstacles, and using scientific instruments to collect data.

How about becoming a Robotics Software Engineer who works on robots like Spot, the four-legged robot?! These engineers write the code that allows Spot to inspect industrial sites or help with search and rescue missions by autonomously mapping environments and detecting hazards.

Imagine your child as a Robotics Engineer working on the Tesla Gigafactory's automated production lines? These engineers develop and program the robots that help build Tesla cars, such as robots that assemble parts, weld car frames, and even paint vehicles with high precision.
