Byte Camp — Robotics

My son joined Byte Camp's Robotics program in Vancouver, and he had a solid experience over the past few weeks. The staff, particularly our instructor Sam, was engaging and clearly passionate about robotics. My son built a simple robot that could move and respond to commands, which he found incredibly rewarding. The small group size allowed for individual attention, and I appreciated how Sam encouraged collaboration among the kids. However, I did find the drop-off process a bit chaotic at times. With parents and kids mingling at the same entrance, it created some confusion and longer waits. That said, once inside, everything ran smoothly, and my son came home each week excited to share what he learned. Overall, I would recommend this program, especially for active kids interested in technology and building things. Just be prepared for a somewhat hectic start to the sessions.

My son attended the Byte Camp Robotics program in Vancouver, and overall, it was a positive experience. He loved building a small robot that could respond to commands. The instructor, Sarah, was very engaging and made it easy for the kids to understand the programming concepts. There were about eight kids in his group, which allowed for more personalized attention. However, the pickup process was a bit chaotic, with long lines forming as parents waited to retrieve their children. Despite this minor annoyance, my son was able to make a friend, which made the experience even better. The program balances hands-on activities with some screen time, but I felt it was appropriate for his age. I think this program suits active kids who enjoy working on creative projects. I’d recommend it, but be prepared for the pickup situation.
