Robotics Club at Empow Studios is a cooperative, welcoming group where kids work together to accomplish challenges and missions, inspired by FLL – the FIRST LEGO League. Whether your child is looking to build and program their first robot, or start training for the 2017 FLL competition, these weekly classes cover the coding and engineering needed to make autonomous robots. We use LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 kits, the newest version of LEGO robotic software and equipment. This club is open for kids in grades 2-8.

We built our FLL table to match the qualified specifications regulated by FLL, that way future competitors will be well-prepared for the season. Never heard of FLL? No problem! Check out our FIRST LEGO League team page for more details.

Grab a pick axe and join your fellow Minecraftians for a weekly class of game design, world creation, exploration, and modding madness! When it comes to discovery and education within Minecraft, the options are truly limitless. We stress designing, building, and creating as opposed to strictly ‘playing’ the game. We encourage growth and learning through the Minecraft platform, which engages children to learn because of their love for Minecraft. Club members will learn about electrical engineering, circuit boards, landscape design, modding, command blocks, architecture, and more. These techniques will enable kids to experiment with coding techniques, work together to create a LAN game, design and build mechanical devices, and learn about different types of automation, all in a virtual world for real-world applications.

Coding Club at Empow Studios is for kids who want to try their hand at creating games, animations, and applications by writing code. Club members will start with fundamental concepts using Scratch, an easy-to-understand, block-based, drag & drop coding language. Once kids are familiar with the basic concepts, we introduce Java, an industry standard language used in many of the applications running on your Android device, and in the 2nd best-selling video game of all time, Minecraft.

Lights, Camera, ACTION! YouTube Club at Empow Studios is a team-based studio crew where kids are actors, directors, producers, and artists! Kids team up into small groups and tackle different genres of film to create mini-movies broadcasted on our YouTube channel. The YouTube Club has their own specific playlist so friends and family can stay up to date on their kids’ movies. As they dive right into storyboarding and writing scripts, students will learn techniques in editing video, shooting live-action shots, and producing music-for-film. There are tons of ways to create awesome movies and YouTube clips and this club covers them all – stop-motion animation, digital animation, video production, music production, sound design, and more!
