Fall is in the air, and that means back-to-school season is upon us! While traditional classrooms offer wonderful opportunities, sometimes a little something extra is needed to ignite that spark of curiosity in your child. Enter LabSpace Robotics at Capital Mall - a haven for young minds eager to explore, create, and innovate.
Imagine your child beaming with pride as they program a LEGO robot to navigate a maze, or their eyes lighting up as they mix colors and textures on a canvas. At LabSpace, these dreams become reality. Our hands-on STEM, art, and robotics classes are designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning.
From the youngest engineers building marshmallow catapults to older students designing their own video games, every class is a journey of discovery. Led by passionate instructors, your child will collaborate with peers, overcome challenges, and celebrate their successes in a supportive and engaging environment.
But it's not just about the skills they acquire. It's about the confidence they build, the friendships they forge, and the joy they find in expressing their creativity. Whether your child is a budding artist, a tech enthusiast, or simply curious about the world around them, LabSpace Robotics has something to inspire and excite them.
Parents, don’t miss the chance to enrich your child’s education with our engaging STEM Club classes! Starting September 9th, LabSpace Robotics is offering exciting and interactive sessions designed to spark curiosity and foster a love for science. Spaces are limited and classes fill up fast, so be sure to register as soon as possible to secure your spot. Be sure to also regularly check LabSpace Robotic's calendar for drop in classes and workshops!
