SteamPi Education — Robotics

My son attended the SteamPi Education robotics program in Vancouver, and overall, it was a solid experience. He participated in building a simple robot that could navigate an obstacle course, which really sparked his interest in engineering. The instructor, Max, was particularly engaging and worked well with the small group, ensuring everyone got hands-on time with the materials. One downside was the long lines during drop-off, which could get a bit chaotic, but once inside, my son was immediately immersed in activities. He also made a friend during the program, which was a nice bonus. The price felt a bit high for a weekly program, but considering the engaging projects and the skills he picked up, I think it was worth it. I would recommend this program for kids who are creative and enjoy building things.

I enrolled my 9-year-old son in the SteamPi Education Robotics program in Vancouver, and overall, it was a good experience. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which he really thrived on. Each week, he built different robots and learned to program them, which has sparked his creativity. The instructor, Mike, was enthusiastic and engaged the kids well, making complex concepts easier to grasp. However, the drop-off process was a bit chaotic. There were several kids arriving at the same time, and it felt a little hectic. I would recommend arriving early if you can to avoid the rush. My son has made a few friends through the program, and I appreciate the emphasis on teamwork and problem-solving. While the price is on the higher side, I think the experience has been worth it for my child’s growth and interest in technology. I would certainly recommend this program to other parents with creative kids.
