A free trial class is the easiest way to find out whether your child will enjoy robotics. There is no payment and no obligation. Here is what to expect, from booking to the end of the class.

Booking takes under a minute

Choose a program, a day and a time on the booking page and you will get a confirmation email. If you are unsure which course fits, choose "Not sure yet" and the instructor will help you decide.

What happens in the class

  • A quick welcome and a look at what students in that course build
  • Hands-on time with real parts from the training kit
  • A first taste of the code that makes the build move
  • Time at the end for questions from you and your child

What to bring

Nothing. Kits and tools are provided, and no experience is needed. Comfortable clothes and curiosity are all your child needs.

Where to find us

RoboFlight is at 50 Crowther Ln, Suite 140, at Knowledge Park in Fredericton. Arrive a few minutes early for the first class so your child can settle in.

After the trial

If your child enjoyed it, regular classes run once a week for one hour, four classes per month. Ask the instructor which course is the best next step for their age and interests.
