The kids are in a 10-week course that'll progress from coding the movements of robots to drones and rockets. Their instructors are high school students.

They're busy in the computer lab -- it's part of a free six-week program that teaches parents about robotics and coding alongside their children. From TK all the way up to 12th grade.

The program utilizes Ozobot Evo and Ozobot Crawler robotics kits to teach basic coding skills. Classes are held every Tuesday until August 12, 2025, and are free for members and $5 for non-members.
