Build thoughtfully
Turn sketches into sturdy mechanisms and learn why structures work.
Robo Wizards is a hands-on learning club where students build robots, explore code, solve real problems, and grow into thoughtful teammates.

Some kids begin with bricks. Others love code, research, storytelling, or testing. We rotate roles so each learner can discover strengths and build new ones.
Turn sketches into sturdy mechanisms and learn why structures work.
Use Scratch-style word blocks first, then progress toward Python when ready.
Change one variable, collect evidence, and make improvements that matter.
Listen, share control, explain ideas, and help teammates succeed.
Teams explore the vibrancy of ecosystems through a rainforest-inspired Robot Game and an Innovation Project focused on biodiversity.
Plan mission runs, design attachments, program the robot, and build repeatability.
Before each match, teams choose how to place the mine, city, and farm models used by Missions 13–15.
Identify a problem that puts biodiversity at risk and create an innovative solution that can help.
Point summaries below are a quick planning aid. The official rulebook wording, diagrams, and Challenge Updates always take priority.
Launch the drone and flip the LiDAR map.
Release seeds so they no longer touch the stalk.
Lower the research flag, then restore the rock.
Remove leaves while protecting the katydid habitat.
Extend the plant root across the forest boundary.
Guide the ant and leaf fragments to the nest.
Extend mycelium and form cross-field connections.
Untangle the vine until it touches the mat.
Raise the platform, deploy the camera, release the seed.
Protect the spider and snail habitats.
Open the tree’s root cover to reveal its history.
Raise the cane and place the support tie.
Build and deliver your own species model.
Place collected seeds in the replantation station.
Create wildlife space, healthy soil, and natural light.
These are starting points—not a substitute for reading the rulebook together.
The team will research an authentic problem, study existing solutions, create and represent an original idea, gather feedback, improve it, and share a five-minute live presentation.
How could drones or other aerial tools safely help rainforest ecosystems?
How could familiar tools be used in an innovative way to support a local ecosystem?
How could damaged land be restored for native plants and animals?
How could camera traps, tracking devices, or other tools better support wildlife research?
Our flexible 16-week roadmap expands the official 12-session notebook into a mixed-grade club rhythm with extra practice and reflection.
Team roles, Core Values, field build, mission-model investigation.
Outcome: shared goals and safe kit habitsDrive base, accurate travel, turns, lines, attachments, pseudocode.
Outcome: first repeatable mission attemptResearch biodiversity risks, define a problem, compare existing solutions.
Outcome: evidence-backed problem statementRobot runs, attachment iteration, project concept, prototype, feedback.
Outcome: tested designs and documented changesMission sequencing, reliability trials, five-minute project presentation.
Outcome: complete judging storyMock judging, 2½-minute matches, packing, reflection, team celebration.
Outcome: calm, prepared, confident studentsFamilies should know what students are learning, what to bring, and how to help—without exposing private student information.
Lesson focus, materials, optional practice, and schedule updates.
Open class folder →Permission forms, transportation, and rosters remain restricted to authorized families.
Open parent folder →Help as a biodiversity expert, practice judge, event helper, or snack coordinator.
Contact the coach →No public student rosters, full names, family contacts, attendance, individual scores, or unapproved photographs.
We will explain rules in student-friendly language, but official FIRST documents and Challenge Updates remain authoritative.
Short, distraction-free quizzes will help students learn missions, rules, Core Values, sensors, and coding—with explanations instead of public rankings.
Questions from a parent, volunteer, or future Robo Wizard are welcome.
