Storming Robots is a robotics and technology learning center for talented youth.
We focus on using robotics as means to inspire children's interest and further challenge
their intellect in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, (S.T.E.M.), analytical,
and strategic thinking .
Storming Robots students attend annual robotics competition. Among various winning experiences, Storming Robots team is invited to represent U.S. at the 2009 International RoboCupJunior Competition in Austia/Graz. Mission Statement: Fueling, Reinforcing habitual and autonomous learning via hands-on robotics and technology fun. Build a generation competitive in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
|
Vision:
Build a hands-on science, engineering, and technology centric model for building and strengthening foundation in engineering for children from Grade 3 to 12.
By starting today's students to robotics hands-on technology early on will prepare their ability to deal with complex technology in their future... No matter whether these students may become from engineers like roboticists, to other professionals like doctors, lawyers, schoolteachers.

|
We take robotics education to the next level above most afterschool enrichment. It's more than your average after school or extracurricular activities. We utilize curriculum designed by renowned robotics institutions, such as the Robotics Academy at the Carnegie Mellon University, the Robotics Educator Projects by NASA, Tufts University, and numerous other enthusiastic robotics communities. We offer a variety of programs for children focusing on engaging hands-on exploration in robots design skill, building, and programming. |

| Why robotics is so valuable... | ||
| Robotics is inherently multi-disciplinary.
Not only it covers S.T.E.M., it also extends in realm of
invaluable skills such as communication, research, project
management, writing, strategic and analytical thinking.

| learning tools |
|
A joint effort from MIT, Tufts University, and LEGO has brought the intriguing world of robotics technology to our children. We choose the awarding winning LEGO® MINDSTORMTM Robotics Technology, various science related and hands-on technology from LEGO Science Education division, and a visual-based programming language RobolabTM. The software RobolabTM facilitates progressive levels of learning environment for students from as young as 8-year-old, to a post-graduate. We continuously evaluate great various learning tools for different levels of interests. This will extend our programming environment to C, C++, Java, and possibly other industrial software gives your children a head start. |
| working with G&T... |
We strongly believe in allowing children to work with peers with similar intellectual caliber in order to maximize the learning experience. Along with proven strong curriculum obtained from the CMU's Robotics Academy and other resources, all projects conducted onsite are further enhanced with advanced challenge in order to stretch students to their full potential. In our weekly roboclub technology club, grouping is ability-based, instead of grades-based. |
| Resources |

Storming Robots utilizes from quite a few online resources. The
following lists our major resources.
The Center of Engineering Educational OutReach program run by the Tufts University. The Robotics Academy (Carnegie Mellon U.) The National Robotics Engineering Consortium maintained by Carnegie Mellon University offers curriculum and activities for teaching robotics. Technology Interactions 2003: Teacher Resource Guide by Henry R. Harms and Neal R. Swernofsky (Glencoe/ McGraw-Hill) This is the resource guide to Technology Interactions, which contains teacher support materials for implementing this curriculum in the classroom.
