Year 1 is where 4–5-year-olds become confident first makers by moving through a gentle STEM lifecycle: Explore, Imagine, Plan, Build, Test, Improve and Share.

Across the year, kids practice computational thinking in age-appropriate ways, algorithms (step-by-step plans), loops (repeat patterns), simple when/then rules, and debugging. They also experience engineering design thinking as they compare wheels, gears, ramps, and supports, then refine their builds based on what happened. The result is a fun, screen-light after-school coding and robotics program in Toronto that builds real problem-solving skills and a resilient maker mindset, so by spring, your child can describe their plan, improve a design with feedback, and confidently share a small project.
