RoboFun® Workshop Schedule


Don't just play it, CREATE IT! Get a behind-the-scenes look at how robots and games are made by designing your own in our Robofun® workshops! Each day students can sign up for 3 hours of Robotics in the morning and/or 3 hours of Computer Game Design in the afternoon. Every day has a different theme and missions so returning children are constantly challenged.

LEGO® Mindstorms® RCX Robotics
RoboFun® instructors will guide participants in the creation of different robotics projects using LEGO® mini computers, motors, sensors, and different design attachments.

Animation & Game Design with Scratch: Animate, Design, Program & Play it!
Students create their own animations, interactive stories, games, music and art. Scratch is a free download for home use. Projects can also be posted to the Scratch website for others around the world to play!


If you do not see a class here that works for you or your child, you can set up your own RoboFun® program!

All workshops listed below take place at Vision Education & Media's offices on 38 E. 23rd St. (between Park and Madison).
