RoboFun Programs at Blue School

Kindergarteners will see their LEGO® projects come to life at RoboFun!  Junior roboticists will construct a robotics creation using ROBOFUN designed blueprints while learning the building basics. Children work in cooperative groups building LEGO projects that incorporate movement using battery boxes, motors and switches.  

**We are growing! Due to popular demand for robotics classes in certain weeks this summer, we will be running additional 9am-12pm sessions of RCX LEGO Robotics for students in grades 1-3. These classes will take place at El Taller, located at 2710 Broadway (between 103rd and 104th), a facility that offers classes in arts, music, dance, Spanish & English. We are thrilled they have found space for us!

Students will work with the same wonderful teachers and make the same exciting projects as the students taking classes at our own studio.

If you would like to see El Taller where your child will be working, please feel free to stop by and ask to see the room that will be used for RoboFun summer camp.

Kids all over NYC can enjoy RoboFun with our special Summer Camp Program at ISB:International School of Brooklyn.

9am-12pm: LEGO Robotics: Learn how to build and program interactive robots using NXT LEGO and Mindstorms software

12pm-1pm: Lunch & Recess *Kids bring their own nut free lunch!
