    Ozobots (Kindergarten-Grade 1)  
    Happy Code Club introduces our exciting robot programming program featuring Ozobots – adorable little robots capable of doing some seriously cool stuff! Your child will dive into the world of programming using Ozocodes – colorful codes drawn on paper that tells the robot exactly what to do when it sees them. It's like magic!
    But here's where the fun really begins: your child will get to create their very own mazes using these codes, and then watch in amazement as their robot navigates through them with precision. From speeding through twists and turns to avoiding dead ends, your child will be on the edge of their seat as they guide their robot to the finish line!
     
    But wait, there's more! Through these engaging activities, your child will not only learn the basics of programming, but they'll also discover just how creative and imaginative it can be to program a robot. So, whether your child has tried a coding or robots class before or is a complete beginner, they're guaranteed to have a blast!!
