Hi everyone,
Hope you had a great summer and enjoyed the weather! We’re excited to be offering a new set of programs this Fall for 2019, including Saturday programs at University Chapel and Pro-D Day Camps (coming soon).
Weekend Saturday Programs
We our offering two 5-week programs on Saturdays starting in September at University Chapel, UBC. You have a choice between a 10am-12pm session or a 1-3pm session in the afternoon. Kids will have hands-on robotics fun and STEM learning and also a break at the hour to go outside and stretch their legs at the park nearby. Parking is free at University Chapel for participants in the program. Find out more on our Weekend Programs page.
Early Bird Registration for March 2020 Spring Break
We know it’s a bit early but we’ve secured space at University Chapel for March 2020 and have opened early bird access with a 10% discount until January. You can register for either the March 16-20 Robotics Camp or March 23-27 Camp full or half day. Kids will be able to try out the new LEGO Education SPIKE Prime sets which will have released by January 2020.
FIRST LEGO League CityShaper Season
The new FLL Season is out and CityShaper is going to be an amazing challenge. Our Forces of the Galaxy FLL team went to Houston World Championships and got a sneak peak early in April. If your child is interested in starting or joining a team, or if parents want to self-organize to create a team in their school, please reach out to FIRST Robotics BC or email bgolland@firstinspires.org for more details. Also be sure to attend the FIRST Rise Season Kickoff event on September 14th, 5pm at Space Centre, register here. For those wanting more details on FLL, come to the FLL Jumpstart event on September 21st, 1:30pm at Centre for Digital Media Vancouver. Register here.
Thank you…
We want to thank all the parents and kids who’ve been joining our After School Programs for the past few years. We have seen some amazing progress and awesome creativity come out of these programs, and we’re super proud of all our students. We have decided to take a break from offering after school programs this year with the VSB for a variety of reasons and will instead be focused on in-school and weekend programs this year. Thanks for your understanding and support, and all the best to you and your kids this school year!
