We will have a maximum of 4 students in any of our classes!
ALL Classes are ONLINE ONLY via Zoom for NOW!
EV3/LEGO Spike Prime classes will require you to purchase hardware.
VEX IQ classes will start programming with VEX IQ without need for hardware although hardware is nice to have.

To keep the quality of our classes high, we will maintain small class sizes while the COVID threat is continuing.

Orientation and Introduction to Robotics

Sanjeev, the Founder of Inner Spark Robotics goes over the Robotics journey students undergo from Elementary, Middle School to High School. It explains the differences between competitive and non-competitive robotics and the various options available at various ages such as FLL, VEX IQ, FTC, VEX EDR and Physical computing.

Robotics with LEGO Mindstorms EV3

Tuition: $675 per 3 month quarter

For timings, click here and look at the field marked class registering for.

This course is suitable for Elementary and Middle school students. Classes will be separated for Elementary kids and Middle school kids due to difference in age and level of understanding.

  • Mechanical Building
  • Motorized Mechanisms
  • Intro to EV3 programming

Kids enrolling in this class will understand the basic concepts to be able to self-direct and build robots and attachments and compete at the entry level in the First Lego League/FTC and other local and national robotics leagues.

Intro to VEX IQ Robotics

Tuition: $675 every three month quarter

For timings, click here and look at the field marked class registering for.

This course is suitable for Elementary and Middle school students. Classes will be separated for Elementary kids and Middle school kids due to difference in age and level of understanding.

  • Mechanical Building
  • Motorized Mechanisms
  • Intro to Block based as well as procedural programming using RobotC programming language

Kids enrolling in this class will understand the basic concepts to be able to self-direct and build robots and attachments and compete at the entry level in the VEX IQ competition and other local and national robotics leagues. This class is the perfect stepping stone to either VEX EDR (metal robots from VEX) or FTC (metal robots from US FIRST)

FTC Metal Robotics with Java

$750 per 3 month quarter with a one time $100 consumable charge to account for the breakage of expensive electronic parts. The one time fee is applicable exactly once no matter how many quarters a student attends even with breaks.

For timings, click here and look at the field marked class registering for.

This class is suitable for grade 7+. It involves building metal robots with industrial sensors and motors that give students real life engineering skills. The class is competition format and requires students to learn Java which can be used as the basis for Computer Science AP (Advance Placement) class. Students from this class can compete in the FTC competition at the conclusion of the class. FTC competition introduces students to Leadership skills, fundraising, marketing, public speaking, outreach and a plethora of other skills that can lead to educational scholarships from US FIRST for college.

VEX EDR Metal Robotics with C++

$750 per 3 month quarter

For timings, click here and look at the field marked class registering for.

This class is suitable for grade 7+. It involves building metal robots with industrial sensors and motors that give students real life engineering skills. The class is competition format C/C++. Students from this class can compete in the FTC competition at the conclusion of the class. VEX EDR competition introduces students to build robots with metal parts, leadership skills, public speaking, outreach and a plethora of other skills that can lead to educational scholarships from VEX foundation.

Special note: Students in this class are expected to bring their own Robot Kit to the classroom. Click here for the recommended kit.

Physical computing with Arduino/Raspberry Pi

Enrolling for fall quarter starting first week of October, Tuesdays 6pm-7pm (Grades 7+) ($850 per 3 month quarter All class material is included and all the hardware, worth $150 will be handed to the students to take home at the end of the class)

This course is suitable for High School Students and advanced Middle School students who are exceptionally passionate about non-competitive robotics and application of robotics to solve real world problems. Kids in this class will learn about:

  • Industrial Microcontrollers  Arduino or Raspberry Pi
  • Sensors and environment sensing using Industrial sensors
  • Building real life projects that solve real issues using industrial Microcontrollers, sensors and actuators.
  • Programming using a variety of programming languages such as C, Python, Lua, Javascript (node.js)

Kids enrolling in this class will gain an in-depth understanding of all aspects of industrial robot design. It will also introduce them to creating their own projects to solve real life problems. Finally, this class is perfect to set kids up for competing in FTC, FRC and any other world-class robotics competition which depends on deep understanding and skill.

Underwater and marine robotics

(Grades 7+) ($750 for the first 3 month quarter. Students will need to purchase an approved ROV kit and bring it to class. Talk to us to determine which kit since we update our recommendations every so often. Field trips will be required occasionally to test the robots. Cost of the field trips will be shared by the students equally. Advance notice will be provided for the days of the field trip.

For timings, click here and look at the field marked class registering for.

This course is suitable for High School Students and advanced Middle School students who are exceptionally passionate about non-competitive robotics and application of robotics beyond the realm of wheeled, ground robots. As part of this course, students will learn:

  • How to build a marine robot from scratch
  • How to operate a robot using manual control
  • Testing the robot in water
  • Build attachments and sensors to the robot to perform underwater tasks.

Note that this class requires occasional field visits to a pool to test the robots in a live environment. In those instances, advance notice to the parents will be provided and a field trip fee that covers the rental of the pool will be applied.

Computer Science AP class using Java.

(Grade 6-12) Currently not being offered. Inquire if interested. ($750 per 3 month quarter)

This class is suitable for grade 6+. This class covers Java programming in detail with the goal to prepare students for getting ready with the Computer Science AP class. At the conclusion of this class, student are expected to be able to create complex java programs with multiple classes, use command line to compile, execute and debug the programs leading to successful AP results.

Advanced topics

(Grade 8+) currently not offered, inquire if interested ($750 per 3 month quarter)

Classes are offered based on student interest as part of our entrepreneurship training. Seats here are extremely limited and offered only for innovative kids with the appropriate skill and aptitude.

  • Fabricating your own circuits
    • Student should understand the fundamentals of Electrical circuits before attempting this class
    • Laying out a schematic
    • Laying out a Printed Circuit Board
    • Getting a PCB built and populating and getting the final product ready for testing
