Richmond Hill 4-7 Years Old:
Engineering Club: Junior Robotics + Civil Engineer
Age: 4-7
This Civil engineering program is centered on exploring the concepts of building and construction through hands-on exploration and design. Students explore the engineering behind skyscrapers, bridges, roads, Tunnels and more in this fun and engaging experience. The Robotics/ Coding activities are a perfect mixture of fun and learning. Students learn how to build and program their creation robots by using a laptop compute
Saturdays October 15 – December 3
- Time: 10 – 11 am
- Location: Bayview Hill Community Centre, Richmond Hill
Sundays October 16 – December 4
- Time: 11 am – 12 PM
- Location: Elgin West Community Centre, Richmond Hill
Engineering Club: Junior Robotics + Aerospace Engineer
Age: 4-7
During Robotics classes, participants will build a Science Rover and learn to code the robot to explore other planets. Also acting as Aerospace engineers, students will be introduced to fundamental concepts of aircraft and spacecraft. Through open and focused exploration, participants will construct rockets, airplanes, and more.
Tuesdays October 18 – December 6
- Time: 4:30 – 5:30 PM

Richmond Hill 8-12 Years Old:
Coding Video Game Design-Ninja attacks
Age: 8-12
Video games are everywhere and in almost every form you can imagine! In Coding Game Design: Ninja Attack! we will create our own version of a Platform game set in a dojo that we will defend from a ninja attack! We will use the Engineering Design Process to create a storyboard to outline the rules of play and characters for our game. Then, we will use software to bring our storyboard to life with programming. At the end of the class, everyone takes home a working Windows compatible video game.

Mission To Mars: Robotics, Orbiters & Landers
Age: 8-12
Students will learn all about NASA’s robotic Missions to Mars and the important role robots play in advancing our understanding of the Red Planet and paving the way for human exploration. We will also examine the anatomy of various orbiters and landers to gain a deeper understanding of how they assist in the work of NASA’s scientists and engineers.
