Robolab — Robotics

I enrolled my 9-year-old in the RoboLab robotics program in North York, Toronto, and overall, it was a positive experience. My child built a small robot that could navigate an obstacle course, which was both educational and fun. The instructor, Sarah, was very hands-on and provided clear instructions, making it easy for the kids to follow along. The small class size meant that my child received more personalized attention, and they seemed engaged throughout the session. However, drop-off was a bit chaotic; there were several parents picking up at the same time, which made it a little stressful. Despite this, the positive interactions with the staff and the creative projects made it worthwhile. I would recommend it, especially for kids who are focused and enjoy hands-on learning, but just be prepared for a slightly hectic arrival and departure. The program runs weekly and is well-organized overall.

My son attended the RoboLab robotics program in North York, Toronto, and overall, it was a solid experience. He is 9 years old and has a knack for building things, so he was thrilled to construct a small robot that could move and respond to simple commands. The instructor, Mike, was attentive and clearly passionate about teaching. The small group size meant that he received personalized help when he needed it, which was great. However, I found the pickup process a bit chaotic, with long lines forming at the end of each session, making it tough to wrangle kids after class. Despite this, I think the skills he’s learning in coding and problem-solving are invaluable. I’d recommend this program for any active child who enjoys hands-on activities, just be prepared for a potentially hectic pickup experience.
