The Tiny Scientist — Robotics

My 9-year-old attended The Tiny Scientist's Robotics program in Brooklyn and had a solid experience overall. The weekly sessions, priced around $250, allowed my child to delve into hands-on projects like building a basic robot that could move and respond to commands. The instructor, Jamie, was energetic and kept the kids engaged throughout the activity. I appreciated the small group size, which encouraged more interaction and personal attention. However, I did find the drop-off chaotic initially, as there were quite a few parents and kids in the same area, making it hard to navigate. Once inside, though, my child quickly settled in and was excited to share what they learned each week. They even made a new friend who shares their interest in robotics. Overall, I’d recommend this program for creative kids who enjoy building and exploring technology, but just be prepared for a slightly hectic drop-off.

My son just finished his first month at The Tiny Scientist's Robotics program in Brooklyn, and overall, we're quite pleased. The instructors, particularly Sarah, were incredibly engaged with the kids and did a great job explaining concepts in a fun way. My son built a small robot that can navigate through obstacles, which he was really proud of. The group size was small, allowing for more hands-on help and interaction. However, I found the pickup process a bit chaotic, with parents crowding the entrance. It made it hard to find him at times. That being said, my son is usually quite active and loved being able to tinker and experiment creatively each week. I would recommend the program, especially for kids who thrive in a small group environment and enjoy getting their hands dirty with tech projects.
