Robotics Club - Robotics Projects Track

Storming Robots Robotics Club is an engineering program for children from grades 4 to 12. Our programs focus on using Robotics Projects to instill and strengthen engineering disciplines and analytical mind, not just robotics itself. See our Culture and Motto.

We provide opportunity to engage students in advanced level work. We do not use the term 'Advanced' loosely in order to boost enrollment. Advanced level usually means work reaching college level, which boost their competitiveness in entering college engineering project teams as well as internship during college years.

Characteristics

• Trimester-based, two or more hours weekly meetings.
• Stress in Computational Thinking.
• Divided by students' levels, not age.
• Focus on active learning and higher order of thinking.
• Structured with Application-based, Open-ended Challenges, but Goal-oriented.
• Opportunity to engage in projects involving AI algorithms, as well as AI-oriented robotics competitions.

Visit our calendar page to see a detailed weekly schedule.

Storming Robots believes students should ...

• Work hard, play hard, have fun in learning robotics and programming, and take pride in their efforts.
• Develop a problem-solving mentality, analytical mind.
• Love exploring how stuff works.

Our students are enthusiastic, and many come back year after year.

• Over 80% students returning rate! 
• Many have attended our Roboclub program every year ever since beginning in elementary school, continuing through 12th grade
• Many travel for more than 35 minutes to attend each year, from locations as far away as Bergan County and Monmouth County, New Jersey, and Newtown and Allentown, Pennsylvania.
• Roboclub students have the opportunity to compete at the international level. Since 2011, our teams have won world titles in various competitions.
• Our advanced students and their impressive achievements have been featured by major media outlets, including MSNBC and the BBC, as well as Robot magazine.
• Visit our Testimonials page to read feedback from parents, see where our students have been accepted to college, and learn more about what they’ve achieved.

Our programs offer a scaffolding learning roadmap that students follow from grade 4 to 12. Programs for students in grades 8 to 12 usually involve projects that require algorithmic and computational thinking and analysis. Go to Computer Science Track and Robotics with Electronic Track. to learn more.

For all students, we provide a learning Roadmap in order to help students a clear guideance based on their interests and availability.

Individualized roadmaps are created for high school students who have demonstrated propensity in demanding work based on their personal learning style, interests, strengths and weaknesses. This has proven that it helps students to define themselves clearly and boost their competitiveness in the college application process.

Three main learning resources:

Forum

This forum, is designed for our students, all between age 10 and 18. For security purpose, only students and parents will be given access to the forum. All other registration requests will be rejected.

In addition, all postings will be closely monitored. 

• Strengthen process of thinking in engineering.
• Encourage knowledge exchange in the realm of  robotics.
• Meet others who have similar interests and caliber. 
• Open Communication among team members at all time.
