Beyond the Textbook
Traditional education often focuses on memorization and standardized problems. At BuildABot, we encourage children to tackle problems with no predetermined solutions—just like in the real world.
- Apply concepts across different domains
- Learn from failures and iterate solutions
- Develop confidence in their problem-solving abilities
- Build a growth mindset that embraces challenges
Our Curriculum
BuildABot's curriculum is designed to prepare children for a future where technological change is constant and problem-solving skills are essential.
Hands-on Robotics
Build, program, and control robots that solve real-world problems. Children learn mechanical design, electronics basics, and programming in a hands-on environment.
Creative Coding
Learn fundamental programming concepts through creating games, animations, and interactive stories. We teach the logic and structures that underpin all programming languages.
AI Exploration
Understand how artificial intelligence works through engaging, age-appropriate projects. Children learn to use AI tools responsibly while understanding their potential and limitations.
Collaborative Problem-Solving
Develop crucial teamwork skills as children collaborate on projects that are too complex for individuals. Learn how to communicate ideas, divide tasks, and combine solutions.
Goal Setting & Agency
Children learn to set achievable goals, break down complex problems, and persist through challenges. They develop agency by making their own creative and technical decisions.
Real-World Application
Our projects connect directly to real-world problems and solutions. Children understand how the skills they learn can be applied beyond the workshop environment.
