Looking for ways to give your child an edge for the future? Sylvan Learning Center located in Westchase Florida is now offering innovative STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education and accelerated after school programs, known as Sylvan Edge. New Robotics, Coding and Math Edge programs help kids foster a love of science and technology at a young age with interactive, fun and hands-on activities.

“The goal for Sylvan Edge is to expose our students to different technology and engineering concepts in an unconventional and fun way in order to help them develop a life-long interest in STEM subjects,” says Crystal , Director, Sylvan Learning located in Westchase. “These hands-on learning experiences challenge and inspire kids to master critical 21st century skills.”

“The Robotics classes at Sylvan are designed to expose students to different technology and engineering concepts in an unconventional and fun way in order to help them develop a life-long interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) subjects,” says Crystal Schaberg, Director, Sylvan Learning Center located in Westchase. “This hands-on learning experience encourages collaboration among the students, helps them build important critical thinking skills and shows them how seemingly abstract concepts can work together to create a tangible object — a programmable robot.”

Throughout the program, students will learn how to build and program robots using LEGO? Education’s award-winning WeDo™ programming software. Groups of like-minded students will get the chance to experiment and problem solve together as they prepare their robot to compete against other robots in a friendly, final competition. Lastly, students will complete a worksheet that reinforces the new STEM skills they just experienced firsthand to solidify what they’ve learned. Parents will also be kept informed throughout the entire program with regular updates on the different skills that their child has learned following each session.In Robotics for Kids (grades 2- 6), students learn how to build and program robots with LEGO? bricks and software— letting their creativity and imaginations loose. Coding for Kids is an innovative course featuring video game design and computer programming with options for kids in grades 3-8. Math Edge, a math mastery program for grades 1–5, uses a variety of brain-boosting activities to help kids solve math problems in cool and engaging ways.

Best of all, these programs are fun for kids. To see Sylvan Edge in action, check out this short video.

Sylvan offers flexible and convenient hours for busy summer schedules. Robotics classes will be offered weekly at the Sylvan Learning of Westchase
