From a first gear train to a fully autonomous robot, our robotics program turns curious students into real engineers — and competitive teams.
What students learn
- Mechanical design: structures, gears, drivetrains and manipulators.
- Sensors and autonomous control: line-following, odometry, PID tuning.
- Programming the robot in block-based tools or C++/Python.
- Engineering notebooks, iteration and teamwork — the skills judges reward.
Competition pathway
We coach teams toward VEX Robotics and FIRST LEGO League, from regional qualifiers to championship events. Students learn to scout, strategize and present to judges.
Who it's for: Grades 2–12, from absolute beginners to competition veterans. Small groups, hands-on every session.
Why BIAA
Our coaches are working engineers and former competitors. We work backward from real competition rubrics, so every build has a purpose. This is the "Bots" pillar of BIAA — Bots · Intelligence · Automation · Academy.
