Battle Bots:
Mars Rover Mission
Battle Bots: Mars Rover Mission is a robotics after-school program in Mission BC where kids ages 7 – 14 will design their own ‘Mars rover’ robots to conquer an alien landscape and outwit rival explorers.
On the last day of class, they will compete in a friendly tournament where they race against the clock to collect precious ice-core samples while deploying strategic blocking maneuvers in a fast-paced replay.

Common Q&A's
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
