Class Overview: In the VEX 123 Robot class, our young learners will explore the basics of robotics and programming in a fun and interactive way. They will learn to:

• Code the 123 robot using simple touch controls to make it move and produce sounds.

• Understand the concepts of sequences (the order of actions), logic (reasoning to make decisions), and problem-solving (finding solutions to challenges).This class helps children develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and an early interest in technology.

The class size will be 12 students. If we exceed the number of registrations, we will do a lottery system.

Starting tomorrow! A group of otters hanging out together is called a raft - looking forward to some fun writing activities while we spend time with our otter friends. 1st-4th grade at this time. We are at full enrollment capacity now and sign ups are closed for this session - if you were able to submit your response, your child is included. Looking forward to seeing our Rafters kids tomorrow!

You can even share pre-packaged snacks or store bought food (with a food handler’s permit).

A reimbursement of $25 per table is available if you turn in your receipts for supplies used.

Year after year, we’ve received the request for more food to be available. We are pleased to announce that Teriyakimoto will be selling food onsite!
