Real-World Robotics Encounter: A Hands-On Program for Grades K–5
Not all robotics programs teach the same skills.
Hello Robot!
Hello Robot! — Core Characteristics
- Focus on using real, fully working robots, Sphero, Ozobot, and Unitree Go2 Pro
- Time spent planning, coding, and problem-solving
- Students see clear cause-and-effect from their instructions
- Screen-free, visual coding using colors and patterns
- Designed to be accessible to all learners, even beginners
- Learning builds foundational skills that carry forward
- Emphasis on understanding how robots work
Typical Afterschool Program
Typical Afterschool Robotics Programs —
- Focus on building robots from loose parts or kits
- Time spent assembling and disassembling pieces
- Outcomes vary depending on time and supervision
- Often screen-based or app-driven
- Often best suited for kids who already enjoy building
- Projects are often taken apart at the end
- Emphasis on “making something”
Calling All Homeschoolers
Homeschool Robotics Workshops – Beginning January 2026
Beginning January 2026, we will be offering hands-on homeschool group robotics workshops for Kindergarten–1st Grade, Grades 2–3, and Grades 4–5.
These small-group sessions are limited to 10 learners, and will take place at welcoming locations around the community. Each activity is designed to be active, engaging, and developmentally appropriate for each age group.
Learners will work with real, fully functional robots, including Sphero, Ozobot, and the Unitree Go2 Pro. Activities include a mix of guided group challenges and individual hands-on exploration. Learners in Grades 2–5 will each work with their own individual robot during the program.
Kindergarten–Grade 1 programs are designed as a shared “learn together” experience for children and parents.
Grades 2–5 programs are teacher led with independent work, with parents remaining on site and welcome to observe the class.
Complimentary coffee, tea, and flavored water will be available for parents while they wait.
Dates and locations will be announced soon.

Hello Robot! An Introduction to Robotics & Coding
Hello Robot ! Grades K - 5
Hello Robot! is a lively, hands-on robotics experience for Kindergarten through 5th grade that brings robots directly to your school. Students work individually and in teams with age-appropriate robots designed for young learners, using drawing and color codes to program movement and behavior — all without screens. The experience is anchored by our eye-catching Robot Ambassador, a large walking quadruped robot that sparks curiosity and excitement, while classroom activities give every student the chance to actively explore robotics, logic, and creative problem-solving. Hello Robot! is a joyful first encounter that builds confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.
An In-School Field Trip Activity
This program is designed as an in-school field trip, bringing hands-on robotics and coding directly to your classroom, library, or multipurpose space.
PopUp Robot arrives with specialized robots, materials, and structured activities, transforming familiar school spaces into an interactive robotics lab.
Our robots are safe and fun. We carry $2 million in liability insurance, and have over 15 years of STEM education experience.
Screen Free Coding and Robotics - Kids get a lot of screen time these days. Our activities don't rely on screens!
PopUp Robot introduces students to coding and robotics using color, creativity, and hands-on play.
Using Sphero and Ozobot robots, students learn how simple color patterns become instructions programming their robots, teaching the foundations of coding, logical sequencing, and problem-solving — all without screens.
By drawing paths, designing courses, and experimenting with color-based commands, students discover that programming is not just about typing code, but about thinking clearly, planning ahead, and learning from trial and error..
American Heritage Girls
Scouting America: Cub Scouts
Hello Robot! supports American Heritage Girls requirements. AHG works to empower girls and their families to foster healthy relationships with technology through intentional curriculum, cultivating badge programs and engaging outdoor activities’ hands-on, age-appropriate activities.
In our program, Learners work individually and in teams to program robots using drawing and color codes, exploring sequencing, logic, and problem-solving without screens. Sessions emphasize creativity, collaboration, and confidence while meeting badge goals in a fun, respectful way.
Scouting America: Cub Scouts
Scouting America: Cub Scouts
Hello Robot! helps Cub Scouts complete robotics-related adventures through active exploration and guided challenges. Scouts learn how robots follow instructions, respond to commands, and solve problems by programming real robots using simple, visual coding methods.
Activities are designed to be accessible, energetic, and aligned with Cub Scout adventure requirements.
Girl Scouts: Daisy, Brownie, and Juniors
Girl Scouts: Daisy, Brownie, and Juniors
Hello Robot! supports Girl Scout robotics and coding badge requirements through hands-on, age-appropriate activities. Scouts work individually and in teams to program robots using drawing and color codes, exploring sequencing, logic, and problem-solving without screens.
Sessions emphasize creativity, collaboration, and confidence while meeting badge goals in a fun, engaging way.
PopUp Robot also offers branded appearances for corporate, community, and technology-focused events.
Our quadruped robot ambassador is an immediate attention magnet — drawing people in, sparking conversations, and creating moments that attendees stop to photograph, share, and remember. The robot can safely move through event spaces, greet guests, and serve as a living focal point that sets your booth or activation apart from the surrounding noise.
Custom flags, signage, or visual branding can be mounted directly to the robot, allowing your message to move through the event with it.
Whether you’re launching a product, hosting a STEM-focused outreach, or looking for a unique way to engage attendees, PopUp Robot transforms branding into an interactive experience. Appearances can be tailored for conferences, festivals, corporate family days, and community events, creating a memorable intersection of technology, curiosity, and human connection.
