What Our Courses Provide
We will provide all the necessary materials for the classes, including Chromebooks, robot kits, competition equipment, soldering tools, 3D printing equipment, etc.
Course Structure
We’ve integrated Project-Based Learning (PBL) with a stronger focus on helping students create robots that they can showcase and even use. We encourage students to take home the robots they build and program to share with their parents and friends.
Instead of a standardized curriculum, we customize the course structure based on each student’s interests and strengths.
Pricing
We’ve transitioned from only charging for teaching services to offering two payment options:
Teaching Service Fee: $299 per month (students cannot take the robot kits home).
Teaching Service Fee + Robot Kit: $399 per month (students can take the robot kits home).
Both payment options allow students to use the robot kits in competitions, with the difference being the ownership of the kits. Fees are charged by the calendar month and are no longer based on the number of sessions. For example, if a month has only three sessions, students can either make up the classes in our weekend workshops or choose robot kits of equivalent value. Additionally, there’s a 20% discount for those who opt for continuous annual billing (with automatic monthly payments), reducing the monthly cost to just $239.2 or $319.2. We also offer camps during winter and summer breaks.We will list a detailed price breakdown of what is included in the kits in our store. We offer a 10% discount to customers who choose automatic payment by credit card. We offer a 10% discount to users who refer friends/siblings to sign up together. The combined total discount from these two offers will not exceed 10%.
Competitions
Our company is gradually partnering with more schools and organizations in the Bay Area to organize robot competitions. These competitions will be structured similarly to NBA leagues, with points awarded for each event. Winning individuals or teams will receive certificates and rewards. We’ve secured sponsorships from two robotics startups and are in discussions with major tech companies for additional sponsorships. Students enrolled in the After School Program will not be charged extra to participate in the competitions.
Weekend Workshops
Previously, our weekend workshops were separate from the After School Program. Now, we encourage students with a strong passion for robotics and programming to continue attending classes on weekends to prepare for competitions. Students who have already paid for the After School Program can attend weekend classes at no extra charge(only in Oakland office). Additionally, students who missed sessions in the After School Program can make up the classes during the weekend.
