Combat robotics class for kids
ENG 101 Combat Robotics I teaches kids how to design, wire and build their own 1 lb robot, in our Jersey City workshop.
They wire, test and repair real circuits and motors, so when the robot does not move, they know how to find the loose wire.

Questions parents ask
Is this safe for kids?
Yes. Kids work with low-voltage components, with a coach at the bench, and robots are tested in a protected arena.
Is this a coding class?
It is hands-on building and wiring first. ENG 100 Intro to Robotics & Coding covers coding from blocks to Python.
