Bytes & Bots

We were introduced to Bytes & Bots by a friend of ours back in Mar '20. We met with Kumar and some of his staff / mentors at their lab in Irvine to determine a course suitable for our kids (ages 10 & 8). The lab and the courses offered instantly impressed us for the expansiveness of the curriculum, and at the same time, the simplicity of it all tailored to kids of all ages. Our kids enrolled for the Fabologie course that teaches them to work with programmable circuit boards (Rasberry Pi), and coding assignments in Python. It was a double-benefit course and needless to say, our kids have been hooked ever since. They are now in the 2nd cycle of 3 months, and we can already see how much they have benefited in terms of maturity in problem-identification, problem-solving, presentation quality of the solutions, and an awareness of how technology works in general. It has been money well spent from our point of view. The mentors who work with the kids deserve special mention for their ability to communicate with the kids and lead them along the way incrementally & iteratively as they together lay and build on the foundations of circuit design and programming - situated in a stress-free and an enjoyable learning experience. If you are a parent who wants to introduce your kids to technology and R&D in a serious albeit a fun learning atmosphere, especially early in their school years, you must pay Bytes & Bots a visit right away!

My kids, 8 and 11, have been doing robotics for the last 6 months or so and they seem to be really enjoying it. Besides learning to build and program, they are also getting some experiences with presenting in front of their classmates. Fernando has been really helpful and understanding when we have to miss a class and do a makeup.

My daughter has completed two programs at Bytes & Bots and she enjoys it very much. The team of mentors is very experienced working with the kids and helping them learn how to organize and complete projects which teaches the kids valuable technology and life skills.nnThe projects provide kids the foundational understanding of real-world engineering and computer science problem solving which will help them prepare for future work in a variety of industries.nnAs a parent, I like that the lab is a safe, professional learning environment where my daughter can learn from her mentors and peers.nnI highly recommend to let your children give it a try. You will be please with the result.

Great experience with 3 kids. Learning area is well equipped and instructors were very helpful! We will go back again.

I have been attending Bytes and Bots for a month or so and the classes are run very professionally. I certainly learn a lot as my classes focus around programming. The curriculum runs very in-depth beginning very basic and continuously expanding. It is also easy to follow for most ages, and any questions I have while programming is always answered by my assigned mentor. In addition my personal background has been over 10 years in the engineering field, and even with 10 years experience there is a vast amount of knowledge for me to continue to gain, I highly recommend this facility for those looking to pursue any aspect of engineering, electronics, or coding.
