Step into the future of technology and innovation! This exciting, beginner-friendly class introduces students to the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Python programming through fun, hands-on projects. Students will learn how computers “think,” recognize patterns, make decisions, and solve problems—building a strong foundation in both computational thinking and creative coding.
Using Python’s simple, easy-to-understand language, students will code interactive programs, puzzles, and games while exploring how AI powers the world around them—from chatbots to smart devices. Along the way, they’ll gain a deeper understanding of AI logic—how machines learn, adapt, and make predictions—and how these same skills can sharpen their own logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Through engaging lessons and creative challenges, students will:
🧠 Explore AI Fundamentals – Understand how machines use data, logic, and algorithms to “learn” and make decisions.
💡 Develop Computational Thinking – Strengthen logical reasoning, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills.
🎨 Create with Code – Use Python to design fun, interactive projects that blend art, sound, and animation.
⚖️ Think Ethically – Discuss real-world examples of AI bias, fairness, and responsible innovation.
🚀 Build Confidence & Future-Ready Skills – Prepare for a world where coding, creativity, and AI literacy go hand in hand.
Whether your student is new to coding or eager to explore how AI shapes our world, this class will spark curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning through technology!

Build something simple, then turn the dial—faster, stronger, farther. Each class starts with a quick teacher demo, then runs like an arcade of levels built from one daily challenge. Pick from our library of LEGO and Technic parts, test until it works, get teacher advice on why, then team up with friends.
Receive challenge reports after each class explaining core learnings and photos of each of your student’s builds.
Example Classes this Session:
- Weight-Lifting Quad Bot: Students start by building a four-leg robot, then level-up through gear ratios and leg linkages to hoist a small load to build an intuition for torque versus speed and linkages.
- Mini-Crane Lift: Students start by building a simple crane, then level-up through carrying larger weights and weirdly-shaped cargo to build an intuition for how pulleys, rope paths, and torque work.
- Grip-Rolling Alligator: Students start by building a rolling alligator, then level-up through swapping wheels/feet and shifting weight to roll straighter and farther to build an intuition for traction and center of mass.
- Towering Elevator: Students start by building a one-story elevator, then level-up through adding a counterweight and improving stability to move between floors without falling to build an intuition for balance.
Class Structure:
- Kickoff build: Students start with the same simplified build while the teacher explains the mechanism and the day’s goal.
- Engineering level-ups: After the first run, students are given added levels (heavier loads, longer spans, new gear ratios) to build intuition around the core learning.
- Creative level-ups: Students personalize their builds—mini versions, themed scenes, decorations—while keeping the mechanism working.
- Team collaboration: As kids progress, they are also given twists on later challenges that work with multi-student teams.
Skills Developed:
- Learn biomechanical and motorized mechanisms that matter like gears, pulleys and belts, center of mass and stability, and more.
- Students will learn the engineering design thinking process, from defining a clear goal, planning a simple first build, running a fair test and observing results, changing a variable, rebuilding, and explaining why the new version works better.
Awards and Accreditations:
- Lando is a WASC-accredited program with multiple awards—like STEM.org Best in STEM, Academics’ Choice, Parents’ Picks, and more.
- We are ESSA Tier IV certified through academic partnerships with Leanlab and Northwestern, affirming measurable learning outcomes for our classes.
Safety and Communication:
- You’ll receive sign-in/sign-out texts to know your engineer is safe.
- Easily contact us via text or email if you need to contact your student during class or for feedback on how we can help your kid thrive.

Would you be excited if your child had an opportunity to learn the universal language of the planet, explore robotics and build circuits? Does your child enjoy math, engineering, technology, design and hands on activities? Kiddie Coding Club may be the perfect opportunity for them to tap into these 21st century prerequisites! In Kiddie Coding Club we learn basic coding concepts, use and build Mindstorm Lego robots, build circuits with Snaplinks and Tinybits.
“People who know how to code will be able to communicate across countries and cultures, be innovative, and solve problems more efficiently, with no barriers to impede their success (Porter, John. (2016). 4 Benefits of Learning Coding at a Young Age.) Retrieved from: https://elearningindustry.com/4-benefits-learning-programming-at-a-young-age-2.
Come join Kiddie Coding Club where we will learn how to work together Using, Code.org, Tynker, and Code Combat to program in a fun and safe environment. It doesn’t matter if your child has coding experience or not, this class is for everyone. It will build on concepts some students already know and teach concepts to those who are new to the coding. All interested students are welcome.

Did you know that performing arts can vastly improve academic achievement in the classroom? Research shows that children who sing, dance, or act tend to have enhanced cognitive, motor, and social development. Kids who perform become quick thinkers, master their anxiety by working through performance jitters, and gain valuable self-confidence. Performing arts also provide a fantastic creative outlet.
Our Performing Arts Class offers a wide variety of opportunities while having loads of fun! This dynamic class includes singing, acting, movement, and playing handheld bells, all designed to inspire and engage every student.
Through our engaging activities, students will:
- Develop quick thinking and problem-solving skills
- Enhance motor skills and physical coordination
- Build social skills and teamwork abilities
- Boost self-confidence through performance
- Experience a creative and expressive outlet
Join us to discover the joy of performing arts while making new friends and creating unforgettable memories. Let your inner star shine in this Performing Arts Class!
