Program Overview

Features project-based, hands-on builds in every single lesson. Students experience the real integration of sensors, motors, lights, sound, and code. The course establishes an early data mindset through counting, charts, and tuning with visible progress.

How the curriculum progresses
  • Level 1 (Foundations by Doing): LED screen basics, motor control (swings/cars), sequential logic, and a factory-style trash sorting capstone project.  
  • Level 2 (Sensor-Driven, Data-Informed): Advanced sensor applications, driving challenges, data collection with color sensors, and timed game projects.  
  • Level 3 (Engineering-Grade Control): Transition to word blocks, custom motor refinement, forever loops, and an interactive soccer net capstone.
