Our Story
Kids Explore Robotics was founded by an experienced Engineer (dad) and a high school student (son, now an engineering student). Son had an interest in robotics from early age when he was in the elementary school. When he got to high school, he realized that how much he loved robotics and the potential of robotics. He wanted to teach robotics to spread interest to young minds.
However, we couldn’t find an existing robotics kit that we truly felt taught the entire creative process of robotics. Most products were one-time-use, and lacked flexibility. The aspect of coding the robot to perform different actions was rarely included, and the inner workings of the motors and micro-controller were covered up.
We believed we could have a more distinct, thorough, and immersive take on robotics, so we started designing. We sought to maximize the educational value, so we wanted a relatively open-concept design to make it easy for kids to learn.
After a series of prototypes, we introduced our first robot - Robby the Drummer that can play really cool drum beats. Kids can easily modify the code to make the robot play different drum beats as they use their imagination and creativity. Since then we have introduced several other robots, all made out of wooden blocks and 3D printed parts, to maximize the learning experience that is fun, engaging, rewarding and educational.
Our goal is simply to spread interest in robotics and provide the opportunity to kids from all walks of life.
Our Classes and Camps are for ALL kids.
(Kids with some exposure to robotics as well as newbies! No prior knowledge of robotics and coding needed.)
Why your kids should learn Robotics?
Robotics is fun, engaging, rewarding, and educational for all kids.
Your kid(s) get to be an engineer (see the smiles on their faces when they come home and tell you all about it – PRICELESS!).
Working on simple design of robots gets their creative juices flowing.
Robotics helps build self-confidence as kids see instant results.
Robotics improves critical thinking and teaches problem solving skills.
Robots are here. Could be a great career option.
Why work with Kids Explore Robotics?
We are different. Our robots are simple in design but provide a powerful learning experience that is fun, engaging, rewarding and educational. They are designed to get the creative juices flowing, build self-confidence, and let your kids discover the possibilities.
Kids Explore Robotics was founded and run by an experienced engineer (dad) and engineering student (son).
Lots of unique robots. Each robot is different and focuses on unique learning skills.
All our robots are custom-made from simple wooden blocks and 3D printed parts. Our creative and original designs are simple but provide a powerful learning experience.
Our open-concept designs teach behind-the-scenes of robotics and coding to maximize learning
Students work on many fun-filled individual activities that are building blocks of robotics to maximize learning – every student gets to work on the activities.
Students work on many group projects (small groups of 3 to 4) where every student gets to participate – they learn teamwork and social skills while they help and learn from each other
Kids get to design, build, and program different robots. Activities and projects are carefully and intentionally designed to get their creative juices flowing. Kids get to be engineers.
We have age-appropriate activities and projects for ALL kids and ALL skill levels.
Most importantly – Kids have a BLAST while they learn a LOT!
Our teaching method breaks down the learning in small chunks and makes it really easy for any kids to understand, comprehend, and learn. Kids work on individual activities as well as group projects that improve critical thinking, teamwork, and social skills under the guidance of our trained experts.
Who is it for?
Any kids 6 years and older. No prior knowledge of robotics or coding is needed. We have age-appropriate activities and projects for all ages and experience level. If you have a curious one that loves to figure things out or build something – our classes are especially for you.
Your kid(s) get to be an engineer!
(They go home with the smiles on their faces - PRICELESS!)
Kids Explore Robotics offers several options to make it easier for you to get your kids involved in robotics.
1. Single 1-hr Class - This is a great way to introduce your kids to robotics. They will learn about the basic concepts of robotics and engage in the hands-on activities to learn about the building blocks of creating a robot.
2. Weekly Robotics & Coding Classes (1 hour each week) - Kids come to our learning ceter once a week for 1 hour in-person learning experience after school - flexible schedule (weekdays and Saturdays). Pay a flat monthly fee and continue for as many months as you want. Online option will be available soon.
3. Summer 2025 Camps - Let the summer be unforgettable! Enroll your kids in our group camps where they will engage in hands-on learning, creative problem-solving and teamwork, all while having an absolute blast.

FAQs
Do I need to purchase anything for the classes?
No, you do not need to purchase anything for the in-person classes (weekly or single 2-hr class). We will provide all the materials and parts for the hands-on experience during the classes. For the weekly as well as single 2-hr online classes (via Zoom), we will send the materials and parts needed (included in the price of online classes).
The Robotic kit/parts must be returned back at the end of the in-person classes. You have an option to purchase the kit if you want your kids to take the robot home.
You may purchase the robotics kit from a third-party before the classes if you would like to keep the robot.
If I am attending online classes (via Zoom), do I need to purchase anything?
The price of the online classes include the parts/materials needed for the classes.
Where are the in-person classes held?
The in-person classes are held in Greenwood, Indianapolis, and Carmel, IN. Please see the Classes or Summer Camps page for details.
Do you offer Summer Camps?
Yes, we recently completed the 2024 summer camp series. we will offer Summer Camps in 2025. The camps will be held in Greenwood, Indianapolis, and Carmel, IN. Please see the Summer Camps page for details.
Do you offer Online Summer Camps?
Yes, we have plans to offer Online Summer Camps starting Summer 2025. However, the exact weeks/dates will depend upon the interest level from parents and kids.
How often are the classes held?
The weekly 1-hr classes are held every week. However, for the single 2-hr classes, it depends upon the level of interest from kids/parents and our availability.
Do you offer video classes where I can work and learn on my own time and at my own pace?
Yes, I have a series of video classes on my YouTube Channel. Video classes are just as effective as live classes for learning. They provide you an added flexibility to learn on your own time and at your own pace.
If I do the video classes, do I need to purchase anything to enhance the learning experience for my kids?
No. The purchase of the Robotics Kit is not necessary even for the video classes as I give demonstration of everything I teach in the class including building of the robot. However, I recommend purchasing a kit if you would like your kid to have hands-on experience of actually building and programming the robot. This will also enhance an overall learning experience and your kid would get a lot more out of the classes.
