Freedom Crossing Academy - Fall 1 - RoboThink Robotics Afterschool 2025
Join us at Freedom Crossing Academy every Thursday afterschool! In this program, students will have a blast exploring the world of robotic technologies as they build, learn and play. Each week, students dive into exciting hands-on STEM adventures—building robotic models, exploring engineering challenges, and discovering the science behind how things work. Our step-by-step lessons make learning fun while reinforcing key STEM concepts in a creative, engaging way. Have your builders been enrolled in our programs? They will continue to build upon the skills they've learned with new projects to advance in RoboThink robotics curriculum. Are your builders new? Great! They will embark on their journey in the world of robotics! New and returning students can look forward to new curriculum for each session so students continue to learn and grow as they develop in RoboThink! Open to all FCA students, both Extended Day AND students not enrolled in Extended Day. For Extended Day students, the cost for RoboThink registration is in addition to Extended Day enrollment costs.
