🤖 Brooklyn Robot Foundry full day session (ages 6 - 10)

Description

Program Details:

• Our Full Day Sessions run from 9a – 3p, with an optional extended stay until 5:30p. Drop-off and pick-up will happen at the door. Please understand that we can not allow parents or siblings inside the Foundry at this time.
• We will build one robot project each day, which is listed in the description for that day. We will also be doing additional crafts, experiments, playing games, and having lots of movement breaks! We also hope to take advantage of our backyard whenever weather permits.
• Each child will have their own building/playing station, as well as their own tools. Children will be required keep 3 feet of distance from each other and to wear a mask, except when eating.
• The sessions are fun. Super fun! It’s our goal to make sure the kids all have a blast while doing and learning awesome things. No previous robot experience required!
• Open to children 6-10 years old. We recommend our online program for children 10-12 years old, as well as those who wish to take part in our Inventors program
