Gantry Kids & Teens · Long Island City
Physical Activity, Outdoor Time, Unstructured Play & Wellness are the prescription to Building Tomorrow's Leaders Today! We take a holistic view in helping your child grow! Physical Activity: organized games and team activities teach kids communication, leadership, and resilience in an organic setting Outdoor Time: humans are grounded in nature. Being outside helps regulate and restore kids' nervous systems, reset circadian rhythms, ward off illness and building immunity no matter the weather Unstructured Play: adult free, peer only play gives kids autonomy, choice, and down time. In a natural environment, kids learn effective communication, conflict resolution, and their like and dislikes. It's also essential for building self-esteem Wellness: global, community, and individual wellness is our focus. Kids have an opportunity to give back to the world, understand their impact, and that humanity extends beyond their own self. We take care of ourselves, our neighborhood, and the planet Our After School provides a pick-up from PS 78, PS 384, Gantry View School, and local school/fun bus stops for kids who attend different schools. The afternoon consists of free play, snack time, and activities. Monday & Fridays we have a survey of sports, Tuesdays & Thursdays are fitness class, focussing on movement skills and Wednesdays are our wellness day. Wellness Day includes food education, philanthropy, collective community, teamwork, and leadership. Parent pick-up is between 5-5:30 PM. Need a little extra time, register for our Walking Bus! We'll bring the kids to your home by 6 PM. Registration is for the entire semester. No cancellations, refunds, credits, or transfers. Please be sure to read our complete policies .

From $105LEGO® WeDo 2.0 Robotics Lab | Ages 5+
S.T.E.A.M Lab · Long Island City
Ages 5+ | 13 Weeks of Roaring, Soaring, Slithering Robots — and Kids Pick What’s Next! What if your kid could engineer a robot that walks like a crocodile, flutters like a hummingbird, or roars like a lion — and then code it to do it on cue? In this 13-week LEGO® WeDo 2.0 Robotics class, your young engineer steps into the wild world of robotics one motor at a time. We kick off with 3 weeks of Animal Robotics — the perfect runway for learning block-based coding, motors, sensors, and the magic of making a robot move with purpose. By the end of Week 3, your coder is comfortable with the WeDo 2.0 platform and ready for bigger missions. From Week 4 onward, the students take the wheel — voting each week on the robotics theme they want to tackle next! KIDS PICK THE ADVENTURE! Starting Week 4, students vote at the end of every class on the next robotics theme. Every student has a voice, every week is a fresh surprise, and no two semesters look the same. Theme options may include: Robot Pets, Outer Space Bots, Robot Olympics, Underwater Robots, Music & Dance Bots, Construction Crew Bots, Ninja Robotics, Superhero Tech, Pokémon Engineering, Sports Bots, and many more! WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN Programming Skills (Block-Based Coding) Using the WeDo 2.0 drag-and-drop coding app, students learn loops, sequences, sensor input, and how to debug a program that isn’t doing what they want. Mechanical Components From motors to motion sensors to tilt sensors, students identify and use the key parts in every build — and learn how each piece shapes what their robot can do. Creative Problem Solving When a build doesn’t work the first time, students iterate, troubleshoot, and improve — discovering that ‘failing forward’ is exactly how real engineers work. Teamwork & Communication Small groups and peer partners are at the heart of every Snapology class. Kids plan together, share materials, and grow into respectful, productive collaborators.
