Schedule free trial

Free session. No semester commitment. We will help you choose the right ongoing class only if it is a good fit.

Give your middle schooler a makerspace experience — design, build, program, compete — and let them decide if robotics is their lane.

In 60 minutes, your child will

  • Work on a challenge that mirrors what ongoing robotics students tackle
  • Program autonomous behavior — not just remote control
  • Experience the pace and standards of our older robotics track

Why robotics

Robotics at this level is real engineering practice: tradeoffs, constraints, iteration, presentation. It is the track for students who want to see their code do something in the physical world.

Right for 6th–8th grade

They can handle ambiguity: the robot did not work — now what? Our coaches teach process, not just answers.

More than a tech class

Love to Code Academy is a character development academy. Every session, students practice teamwork, persistence, and ownership — not just skills. Real tools. Coaches who know your child by name.

What happens after the trial?

If it is a fit, we will recommend the right ongoing class and belt level. If not, you will still leave knowing whether coding or robotics excites your child — with zero pressure to enroll.

Free session. No semester commitment.

At the end of the session, you'll have a quick sit-down chat with a coach to go over how your child did and answer any questions about enrollment options.

Common questions

Classes are grouped by age and ability, not just grade — a kindergartner is never grouped with a 5th grader. Every child works at a level matched to them.

Nothing required — all robotics kits and equipment are provided. A water bottle is optional. No prior coding or robotics experience needed.

Just contact us by phone or email and we'll find another age-appropriate time that works — there's no payment on file and no cancellation process to navigate.

There is zero pressure to enroll. We will help you choose the right ongoing class only if it is a good fit. No credit card required for the trial.

The VEX GO robotics kept him fully engaged. He'd walk in the door and immediately start explaining what he built that day, what didn't work, what he changed. Would recommend to any parent looking for a coding and robotics program that's actually worth it.

The classes challenged them in the best way and sparked a new love for coding and robotics. I especially loved seeing the confidence they gained as they learned new skills and pushed through challenges.

The staff were so engaged, enthusiastic, and supportive throughout the entire program. My boys absolutely loved going and were always excited to tell me about what they learned that day.
