Each week has its own theme in order to captivate the interests of
participants and deliver various engineering concepts.
At Storming Robots Center
- Week 1 thru Week 8.
- You may register one or more weeks.
- Each participant will receive a Workshop Completion Medal/Pin and
an evaluation feedback at the end of a full week workshop.
At Dean of Chess Location
- Week 2 thru Week 7.
- Half day Engineering, half day Chess
- You may register one or more weeks.
- Additional spatial-temporal reasoning skill building fun music activities for full day sign up.
- All receive participation medals/pin.
Trophies will be awarded to the top
individuals of each section.
At Rutgers Preparatory School
- Week 5 and 6.
- Half day Robotics, half day Chess
- All receive participation medals/pins.
Trophies will be awarded to the top
individuals of each section.
S.T.E.M. oriented
All programs offer technical
challenge in robotic including mathematics, technology, science, and
engineering. All Grade4-12 programs delivery true robotics
experience from design, project management, to implementation,
including building from scratch, true programming structure. Last but
not least, most are concluded with either presentation or exciting
mini-contest.
High Student and Staff Return Rate!
While we have over 92% returning rate of our school-year-round roboclub students, the returning rate of summer
participants is over 45%. Some of them have been with us since 2005 summer. The returning rate of our instructors staff
stays the same almost every summer.
This is a clear evidence in proving the high value our summer programs have delivered.
Many parents took long trek from over 40 minutes away, such as
Princeton, Livingston
Rewarding feedback from parents and students!
In addition, we have received rewarding feedback from parents, students, and even teachers who organize their technology
trip to Storming Robots. You can
review some of the feedback here.
The following payment plans are available only the programs held at Storming Robots, not for programs held at
Dean of Chess, nor R.P.S.
Alumni Payment Plan
Eligibility:For those children who have attended our roboclub for two+ terms
OR summer workshops in the past years.
Plan: May divide the remaining balance into equal monthly
payments with a minimum of $50/month. Maximum period is 9 months, but no
later than November 2010.
New students Payment Plan
May divide the remaining balance into equal monthly payment until June
1st, 2010.
Instructors: either B.S. or M.S. Degree.
Our instructors possess minimum college level with stellar
academic background. Some even possess Master Degree in Science.
All adult staffs have passed criminal background
check. There will always be staff onsite who has been CPR-certified.
Assistants: Stellar Academic Record.
All assistants are individuals who not only have stellar academic records, but also have experience in various robotics competitions. Our staff have passion in robotics. This is not merely
their summer job, but their opportunity to inspire more children
in pursuing science, engineering, and cool robotics in the
future. Please read about some of our staff.
They all have gone through intensive technical
training in using LEGO Robotics components, and the programming
software.
Typical questions:
Q1: What if a student is a fast learner,
and very talented, will he or she have to slow down all the time to
wait for others?
A1: Absolutely NOT. Since we provide year-round robotics and technology education, we have the expertise
to facilitate challenges for skill levels ranging from beginners to experts. One of our strength is
to provide technical challenge to stretch the child's potential.
Q2: The student attends module "X" last summer,
will he/she be doing exactly the same thing like last summer if
he/she joins the module "X" again this summer?
A2: It depends on the complexity of the program, as well as the
ability of your child to retain the knowledge. Best to contact the
Director for further discussion.
We have received many positive feedback. Some are absolutely rewarding!

Award:
"Model Junior Roboticist" Trophy awarded at the end of each workshop.
This trophy exemplifies the high enthusiasm and attitude throughout the
program. This award also comes with $10 Gift Certificate to
shop.lego.com.
Souvenir:
Each participant will receive a practical souvenir, and a participation
trophy.
Some of the Gr.2 and 3 workshops
offer the students to take their creation home. Some older grades courses may also give away interesting books about
engineering and technology. The course description will tell you whether there will be Take Home offers.
Yes.
