After School Program in Langley:

Bots vs Bots: Ultimate Robot Soccer

Bots vs Bots: Ultimate Robot Soccer is a robotics after-school program in Langley where kids ages 7 – 14 will design, build, and engineer their very own robot using Vex IQ — then take it onto the field to compete in a real 2v2 robot soccer league.

Get ready for the most exciting robotics program of the year. In this hands-on course, students design, build, and engineer their very own robot using Vex IQ — then take it onto the field to compete in a real 2v2 robot soccer league. Every session brings a new engineering challenge: tuning your drivetrain for speed and control, designing a ball mechanism that can outmaneuver the competition, and refining your robot based on what you learned from last week’s class. It’s not just building — it’s building with a purpose.

Throughout the course, participants will:

  • Design and build their own robot from the ground up, 
  • Develop and test custom ball-handling mechanisms to gain a competitive edge on the field
  • Learn the same iterative design process used by real-world robotics engineers — build, test, improve, repeat
  • Develop teamwork and critical thinking as they strategize with their partner and adapt to the competition
  • Compete in a Championship tournament where robots, skills, and strategy are put to the ultimate test

No previous experience needed! Join us for the ultimate after-school program in Langley!

Common Q&A's

What are the benefits of the programs?

During our programs kids develop analytical and problem-solving skills that will help them excel in middle and high school.

Students have fun making new friends while designing and building their own games, toys, and robots.

Introducing kids to STEM subjects early will equip them with the skills they need to thrive later in life, as STEM occupations are projected to grow by almost 11% by 2031, over twice as fast as the growth for all occupations.

Why is the registration on a recreation centre website?

All our programs are vetted and delivered in collaboration with local recreation centres. When registering for our courses, you will be taken to the recreation centre’s website to complete the registration.

Who teaches the courses, and what are their credentials?

At Young Innovators, we take instructor quality seriously.

Every instructor is certified in First Aid and has passed a criminal background check.

They also bring real-world experience in STEM fields and previous experience working with kids.

What type of curriculum do you use?

Our programs align with the Applied Design, Skills and Technologies Curriculum (ADST) certified by the B.C. government.

This curriculum encourages students to reflect on ‘Why?’ questions when making decisions, while promoting creativity and critical thinking skills.

Our curriculum also caters to multiple learning styles, including auditory, visual, and hands-on approaches. 

What is the instructor-to-child ratio?

At Young Innovators, we run intentionally small class sizes with an instructor-to-child ratio of 1:8, so every child gets real attention and the support they need.

Are there different levels to the programs?

No, the courses do not have to be taken in any particular order. This allows students to sample different topics they’re interested in more deeply.

Does my kid need any previous experience?

No previous experience is necessary.

I still have a question. How can I contact you?

If you have any other questions or concerns, please call us at (778) 834 2186 or email us at info@younginnovators.ca.
