Wize Computing Academy of Little Elm and Richardson

Young coders took their Driving Base skills to the next level using Python and the Color Sensor.

Students learned how robots detect colors, follow lines, and make decisions based on sensor input — just like real autonomous vehicles.

Model: Time for Squat or Kettle Bell Robot

Robotics Students built a robot that bends, squats, and stands back - using Sensors, Variables, Mathematical Calculations.

Force Sensor initiates the move with Pressed & Released options.

Distance Sensor records distance from the ground.

Operators for mathematical calculation - The difference between start & end position — which is the depth of the squat

Today our young engineers built the SPIKE Prime Hopper — a model that literally jumps into action. They watched as Hopper bounced, jumped, and wiggled across the floor.

They experimented with motor power, timing blocks, and design tweaks to make their Hopper move in fun and surprising ways.

MIT Scratch Coding sparks young creativity.

Kids learn real programming concepts while building games and animations they’re proud of.

Loving the energy of these young coders.

Young minds + Python Coding = Magic.

Our students are diving into real coding, building logic, creativity, and confidence with every project.

Proud of these future tech leaders.

Ferris Wheel Magic

Coding with Minecraft Education Edition

🎯 1. Understanding Variables (Score, Arrows)

Kids learn that a variable is just a container that stores information — like a scoreboard.

- Score increases every time a rabbit is hit
- Arrows decrease every time the child shoots

FLL Challenge #72858 - Automatrons

More than the missions or the scores, what matters most is the journey they embraced:

• The discipline to keep improving
• The teamwork that grew stronger every week
• The problem‑solving mindset that never quit
• The joy of discovering what they’re capable of

FLL Challenge – Hard Work Truly Pays Off

What an incredible milestone for our Automatrons #72858 team.

Weeks of late evenings, countless design tweaks, strategy debates, rebuilds, re-runs, and pure determination all came together beautifully today.

Automatrons #72858 has earned the Breakthrough Award!

This award celebrates teams that show exceptional growth, creativity, and perseverance — and that is exactly who these kids are.
