WHAT IF MY CHILD IS NOT FAMILIAR WITH CODING AND ROBOTICS?

Snapology is a great place to learn about coding and robotics. Campers will receive instruction relevant to their project prior to building with their partner. We use LEGO® robotics kits and provide students with step-by-step building instructions and programming sheets to support them in the building and coding process.

Classes are up to 12 students per instructor and limited to around 24 campers.

WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO INTRUCTORS HAVE?

Camps are taught by experienced instructors who have been working with children for years in school and camp settings. Our instructors are often school teachers during the school year and work with Snapology in the summer and have been thoroughly vetted through the Texas Central Background Unit.  Additionally, every instructor receives in-person and online training specific to Snapology programs including first aid and CPR certification. In-person training and instructor support is led by our local owner/operator, Kim Nisson. Kim holds credentials in elementary and special education and administration. She also has a Master’s degree in Teaching and Learning and over 15 years of experience in public education including classroom instruction, English learner support, curriculum development, leading professional development for staff, and special education program management and administration.
