Mommy + Me Little Coders

In our Little Coders party, students learn the basics of programming logic through hands-on activities and MIT’s introductory programming language called Scratch Jr. This party will take your child on an adventure in which their imagination comes to life through interactive stories and games. Children will snap together graphical blocks to design, edit, and modify characters. During this process, students will solve problems and develop foundational math and literacy skills.

Little Engineers Birthday Party

Preschool age children are natural scientists, ready to explore and experiment. Our Little Engineers birthday party engages children’s curiosity by utilizing a hands-on and playful curriculum. Through our specially designed building activities, songs, stories, and movement, children have a blast while developing problem-solving and design-thinking skills and completing a project they will love!

What type of kindergarten activity are you interested in?

Build confidence for your young student with fun, exciting, and challenging classes.

Kindergarten Pods/Private Lessons

Our learning pods or private individual or group lessons are ideal for students looking to accelerate their learning through a customizable curriculum. Students will receive a highly focused and supportive class that brings out their imagination while creating different innovative projects.

Robofun offers private lessons or learning pod support in Robotics (LEGO® Mindstorms or Birdbrain), Coding and Game Design, Animation, or Minecraft.

Online private lessons can be taken by one student or up to four students at a time. Creating a private lesson group is a great way to provide a chance for your child to socialize with their friends. They will learn new STEAM concepts while socially distancing.

Your first lesson can be booked individually as a trial class. All lessons thereafter are offered in packages of 5 or 10 classes. We offer a discount of 10% for our 10 lesson package.

Please email noah@robofun.org or call 212 245 0444 ext. 107 for rates or to schedule your private lessons.

*Materials used during private lessons for robotics are not included in our class price. Parents may purchase LEGO® materials directly from an authorized LEGO® dealer.
