Grades 6–12 · Saratoga, CA · Founding cohort now forming

Don’t just assemble robots. Understand how they work.

Hands-on robotics and AI in teams of four. Students learn the physics, electronics, and code behind every part, then use that understanding to solve real engineering challenges.

Families who join the waitlist now form our founding cohort.

Led by a PhD in AI Teams of 4, every student has a role Uses modern AI tools from day one No experience needed to start

What makes us different

Most programs teach kids to build robots. Few teach how they work.

School teams focus on building and competing. We focus on understanding.

See the difference

How would you know a battery is healthy?

We start every family session with this question. Most people say “measure it.” They’re half right.

Nothing connectedThe meter can show a healthy-looking number, even on a worn-out battery.
Powering a motorA weak battery’s number drops fast once it has real work to do.

Knowing what to measure, and why, is what engineers do.

Why now

AI is the tool. Understanding is the skill.

Students use AI to help write and fix code starting in Level 2. But AI can’t hold the probes, or look at a robot and see why it keeps drifting left.

Understand

How the hardware and code really work.

Question

What AI suggests, and test whether it’s right.

Build

With AI as a tool, not a crutch.

Programs

From first robot to real engineering

Every project fosters student independence. Start at Level 1 with no experience, or join at Level 2 if you’ve done robotics before.

How enrollment works

Four simple steps

  1. 1Join the waitlistFree, takes about a minute, and nothing is paid until you register.
  2. 2We form a teamA team starts once 4 students commit. We’ll email you the dates first.
  3. 3Register and payNothing is due until registration. Full refund if you cancel before the program starts.
  4. 4Start buildingFirst session in Saratoga. All hardware is provided.
Founding cohort

Be first in line for the founding cohort

Only 8 students per level, in two teams of four. Level 1 meets Sunday, November 15, 2026, 1–5 pm. Level 2 is scheduled around each team’s availability, and Level 3 in early 2027. Join the free waitlist, and we’ll contact you before anyone else.

Sessions meet in a dedicated lab space in Saratoga, near Saratoga High School. We’ll email the exact address when you register.

Real parts, real measurements

Families tested batteries with a multimeter, looked over the robot parts, and watched a student move a robot across the room with a game controller.

For students

Three robot puzzles. Can you solve them?

Easy to ask. But you have to understand the robot to answer them.

What makes a motor spin?

Physics + electronics

How do you slow it down, or reverse it?

Electronics + controls

Why does a faster robot get less stable on a turn?

Physics + design

Want the answers? Level 1 is where you find out.
