What the week actually is

Robotics is the fastest way to show a child that failure is information. A robot that turns left when you told it to turn right is not a judgment on the child, it is a bug, and bugs get found. That reframe is the actual curriculum.

Day by day

  1. Build the chassis and get it moving
  2. Sensors: make it react to the world
  3. Program a task it fails at first
  4. Debug day — find why it turns the wrong way
  5. Showcase: run the course and explain the fix

Questions we get from Beaumont, TX

Does my child need coding experience?
No. The first day is drag-and-drop logic and the last day is text code for the kids who get there.
What hardware is used?
Standard classroom robotics kits, nothing proprietary, so schools and camps can keep using what they already own.
What if the robot never works?
Then we have a debugging week, which is the more valuable week. Nobody goes home without a working build.
