Week 1 · June 14, 2026
Welcome, kit, first circuits
We taught
- Meet the kit and the classroom rules
- How a simple circuit works (power, path, load)
- Safety with batteries, wires, and tools
They built: A simple LED circuit
Class Recap
What we taught this summer
Eight Sunday sessions in Braintree — kids built, coded, and explored robotics in a small group with friendly instructors. Replace this paragraph with how the summer actually went: energy in the room, a proud moment, and what parents should know.

Parent-language outcomes from the full session — not grades, just what they practiced enough to do on their own.
- Build a working robot they take home
- Write simple programs to control motors and sensors
- Explain basic circuits in their own words
- Try a friendly intro to AI concepts
- Work as a team to finish a challenge
What we taught each class
Eight Sundays in Braintree. Here is what we covered each class, and what the kids built that day.
Week 2 · June 21, 2026
Sensors and motors
We taught
- What sensors do (light, distance, touch)
- How motors turn electricity into motion
- Hooking a motor and a sensor to the board
They built: A motor that responds to a sensor
Week 3 · June 28, 2026
Block coding basics
We taught
- Sequences: do this, then that
- Loops so the robot can repeat a move
- If/then so the robot can make a choice
They built: A first block-code program
Week 4 · July 5, 2026
Make it move (first driving robot)
We taught
- Chassis, wheels, and a balanced build
- Forward, turn, and stop commands
- Testing and fixing when it does not go straight
They built: A driving robot they can steer
Week 5 · July 12, 2026
Line following / problem solving
We taught
- How a line sensor “sees” the path
- Tuning the program when the robot loses the line
- Team problem-solving: try, observe, adjust
They built: A line-following challenge run
Week 6 · July 19, 2026
Intro to Python or Arduino
We taught
- Why text code is another way to talk to a robot
- A few beginner commands (Arduino or Python)
- Uploading a program and watching it run
They built: A short text-code sketch on the kit
Week 7 · July 26, 2026
AI concepts + challenge
We taught
- What AI is — and what it is not — in kid language
- How a robot can “decide” from sensor data
- A timed challenge that uses everything so far
They built: A challenge robot with a simple decision
Week 8 · August 2, 2026
Final build, demo, take-home
We taught
- Finish and decorate the take-home robot
- Practice explaining the build to family
- Demo day: show what it can do
They built: A finished robot they take home
