After School Program in Mission BC

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.

As Martian engineers, participants design and build a robot rover capable of surging up a steep crater ramp and weaving through a rugged rock field. 
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. 
Join us for the ultimate after-school activity in Mission! 
Returning Battle Bots participants and new participants are welcome—no prior experience required!

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.
