Robotics Tracks
A weekly robotics class that keeps going: the same learner moves up through levels rather than repeating an introduction.

A full week of robotics during a school break, ending with a robot the learner built from nothing.
Concentrated build weeks during school breaks. Learners design, wire, program and test a working robot from start to finish.
A camp compresses a whole progression into a week, which is the fastest way to find out where a curriculum drags and, for a family, the lowest-commitment way to find out whether robotics sticks.
Capabilities, and how far this program takes each one.
Getting from a pile of parts to a chassis that survives being driven.
Powering motors and sensors without releasing the smoke.
Enough programming to make the machine behave deliberately.
Deciding what to fix when the week is running out: the actual engineering skill.
Run during school breaks at a Maple Mind lab.
The same compressed week delivered in a school or community space.
Camps are how a lot of schools start: a self-contained week that shows staff and families what a robotics program looks like before anything is installed.
Which of these lands on your staff depends on the engagement model: we run it, we run it with you, or you run it.
See how a school program worksOne session, in the order it happens.
The build starts in the first hour. There is no theory week before anyone is allowed to touch a robot.
Once it drives, code and sensors go in, which is when the robot starts doing things nobody explicitly told it to.
The week ends with a demo. A robot that works on the bench and not on demo day is a normal and instructive outcome.
Hardware in hand within the first hour.
Code, sensors and autonomy layered onto the build.
Learners present and run their robot.

Level-based progressions written against the hardware, not adapted to it.

Two minutes of questions tells us whether this program fits, or whether something else in the ecosystem fits better.
