However, our Robo Junior and Simple Machines Junior programs are designed for ages 6 – 8, and all our other programs are designed for ages 8 – 14. This helps ensure the students receive the right amount of challenge for their age group and encourages our young innovators to establish a strong foundational understanding of engineering and building concepts.
Our programs align with the Applied Design, Skills and Technologies Curriculum (ADST) certified by the B.C. government.

However, our workshops are low-cost, one time trial sessions where children can experience what one of our programs would be like before committing to an entire multi-week program.
