Crest Robotics and Computing Academy will be providing robotics classes for 2026-27 using Lego kits and Scratch (a block based coding platform built by MIT). Classes will be held at Van Arsdale Elementary School, located at 7535 Alkire Street, Arvada, CO 80005. Classes will be held on Mondays after school from 2:35PM to 3:35PM. Classes start on Dec 7 and run through May 24. No class on Dec 21, Dec 28, Jan 18, Feb 15 and Mar 22. On Jan 4, Mar 29 and May 10 we will be holding a virtual SCRATCH coding class. In addition, Apr 19 and May 3 will be used as make up days for inclement weather and/or other emergencies.

For robotics, we focus on individual class projects where we create a small team of 2-3 children that complete a project including building and coding in each class. For coding in Scratch, each child will be working individually. We use Google Photos to share pictures and videos of children working on projects, with their parents, and also offer parents a chance for parent teacher conferences to discuss their learning and growth. Our goal is to teach children problem solving skills and logical thinking. We also teach children how to model good and positive behaviors, learn how to work in teams and build their self-confidence and esteem by encouraging them to talk about their creations at the end of each project.
