Class Experience
This class is for beginners to learn how to program and build robots with the Lego Spike Prime kit and solve various challenges. Beginners will mainly use block coding, and those with knowledge of Python can code robots using Python. Our teams have made it to FLL State Championships in 2019, 2021, and 2022.

Ari had a great time, he really looked forward to class every week and was disappointed on the times he wasn't able to attend.
Improvements:
I'm not sure how much Ari actually learned in the class. His projects didn't seem to really work, and I don't think he really got to know the coding concepts behind them. But he had a great time, and I know it's a beginning class so maybe the coding and engineering concepts come later.

I love our imstructor Sam. He's really great at getting the kkds excited about the material. He's constantly pours into them with positive feedback. My son looks forward to class and can t stop talking about what he's built all week.
Improvements:
The class center can have a more welcoming and cheerful aesthetic.
