Synapse Robotics Club — Build It. Code It. Explore! Presented by Synapse Robotics & AI Build robots. Write code. Solve challenges! What if you could build a robot that sees, grabs, sorts and moves objects on its own? Or design a car that detects obstacles and navigates like a Mars rover? At Synapse Robotics Club, students turn these ideas into working robots. Students in Grades 6–8 learn robotics through hands-on projects using VEX IQ / LEGO SPIKE Prime, with advanced builds on Arduino, Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson. They learn block coding, Python and an introduction to industry-standard C++ while building autonomous vehicles, robotic arms and claw machines. Students Will Build with VEX IQ / LEGO SPIKE Prime Learn block coding, Python and C++ Build autonomous vehicles that detect obstacles Design robotic arms and claw machines Explore Arduino, Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson Solve real-world robotics challenges Test, troubleshoot and improve their designs Optional pathway into VEX IQ Robotics Competition and FIRST LEGO League No prior robotics or coding experience required! A Pathway, Not Just a Class Students finish with a certificate of completion and a portfolio of robots they designed, built and programmed. Those who want to go further gain skills that prepare them for high school robotics teams, labs and competitions. Family showcase included at the end of the program.
