* LAB students are asked to have previously participated in SFTA robotics classes. Students without prior SFTA robotics experience should enroll in the Exploration classes. If your student has prior non-SFTA robotics experience please contact us at [email protected] to discuss if the class would be a good fit.
We are so grateful for the Discovery Robotics class taught by Dan Pace! My child looked forward to class every week and learned so much through the hands-on projects and creative challenges. Dan does an amazing job making robotics fun, engaging, and approachable for homeschool students of all skill levels.
This class has been a wonderful STEM experience that built both confidence and problem-solving skills. We highly recommend it to other homeschool families!
