NORY HQ — Robotics

My son participated in the NORY HQ Robotics program in Brooklyn, and overall, it was a solid experience. He’s 9 years old and particularly focused, which I think suited the hands-on approach of the class. Each week, he worked on different projects, including building a simple robot that could move and respond to sensor input. His instructor, Mia, was very engaging and encouraged the kids to think outside the box, which my son loved. One minor annoyance was the long lines during pickup; it felt a bit chaotic with a lot of parents trying to collect their kids at the same time. However, the small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which made it worth it. If you're looking for a program that combines creativity with learning in technology, I'd recommend trying it out, just be prepared for a busy pickup time.

My 9-year-old participated in the NORY HQ robotics program in Brooklyn last month, and overall, it was a solid experience. My child built a small robot that could navigate a maze, which sparked her imagination and creativity. The instructor, Leo, was very engaging and made sure every child understood the concepts being taught. I also appreciated the small group size, allowing for more personalized attention. However, the drop-off area was a bit chaotic on the first day with long lines to check in. We navigated it eventually, but it might be a stress point for some parents. Despite this, my daughter really loved the hands-on projects and even made a new friend in the class, which made it worthwhile. I would recommend this program, especially for kids who are focused and creative.
