FAQ for Parents 

1. What is Xai Robotics, and why is it the right fit for my teen?

Xai Robotics is where your teen or preteen learns to build the future. Our hands-on robotics program gives teens and preteens real-world experience in creating robots, coding, and designing tech from the ground up. Imagine your kid building their own custom robots, creating 3D-printed parts, and writing the code that brings them to life. Every project brings them one step closer to mastering the skills that power today’s tech giants like Google, Tesla, and Apple .

2. What makes Xai Robotics different from other STEM programs?

Here at Xai Robotics, we don’t just hand your teen a kit and say, “follow the instructions.” We teach them how to innovate. Each student learns by doing—building robots from the ground up, programming them to think, and using tools that real engineers use in the field. Our program was developed by experts from Google and Meta, ensuring your teen gets the best, industry-level experience .

Your teen won’t just read about technology—they’ll create it.

3. How does the program help my teen grow?

At Xai Robotics, every participant is an engineer from day one. Whether they’re a beginner or already have experience, they will build everything themselves, piece by piece, as the complexity increases. We guide them through the process, but they do the hard work—just like in martial arts or gym training. Here’s how the progression works:

• Level 1 (Creator): Right from the start, students are building robots from the ground up. They learn core skills like mechanical design, 3D modeling, and basic programming. For example, they might start by replicating a prototype wheel using CAD, measuring, designing, and building it themselves. When it doesn’t fit the motor, they re-measure and fix it, just like real engineers do. They also start working on basic coding and electronics to control simple robot movements.

• Level 2 (Innovator): As they advance, students take on more complex builds, adding layers of customization to their robots. They learn to program apps for mobile robots, integrate sensors, and tackle intermediate engineering challenges. Here, they’re applying their foundational skills to make robots that can perform specific tasks, like navigating environments or responding to external inputs. Again, everything is built from the ground up—they design the parts, write the code, and troubleshoot when things don’t work.

• Level 3 (Designer): At this stage, students are designing advanced systems, combining complex mechanical design with more sophisticated programming and electronics. They build robots that can perform more intricate, multi-step tasks. For instance, they might create a robot that needs a mobile app to operate or one that uses multiple sensors to make real-time decisions. They create, test, and iterate on their designs, learning advanced problem-solving techniques.

• Level 4 (Engineer): By now, students are designing fully autonomous systems, integrating AI, machine learning, and complex electronics into their robots. They’re tackling real-world challenges, like building robots that solve specific problems in industries such as automation or transportation. At this level, they’re working on cutting-edge projects that require them to think like professional engineers—combining all the skills they’ve learned to create innovative solutions.

At every level, your teen or preteen is building everything their robot needs, from the wheels to the code that runs it. It’s all about learning through doing, facing challenges, and solving problems just like engineers do in the real world .

4. Is my teen going to be behind if we join late?

No worries! You can join anytime. Our program is built to be flexible, so whether your teen joins mid-project or mid-month, they’ll be able to jump in and get started right away. We also offer catch-up sessions to ensure no one falls behind . And periodically, we start fresh with new, exciting robot projects.

5. What does my membership include?

Our membership isn’t just about attending classes—it’s about giving your teen access to everything they need to thrive. Here’s what they get:

• Full access to robotics classes and expert instruction

• Use of professional-grade tools, materials, and technology

• Time in our state-of-the-art workshop to tinker, explore, and build new things

• Guidance from experienced mentors who’ve worked at the world’s top tech companies .

6. What happens if we miss a session or go on vacation?

Life happens, and we get that. We offer make-up sessions (usually on Fridays), and during summer months, there are no membership charges. Your teen can still come to the workshop, even when school is out . Whether you’re here or away, we’ll make sure your child stays on track.

7. What makes Xai Robotics the best choice for future tech leaders?

Xai Robotics is designed to give your teen or preteen a head start in the real world of tech. Here’s what they’ll gain:

• Mechanical Engineering Skills: Understanding how robots move and work.

• Electrical Engineering Know-How: Learning the ins and outs of circuits and wiring.

• Programming Mastery: Coding the brains behind the robots, using industry-standard languages.

• AI and Machine Learning: Integrating advanced technologies that are reshaping industries .

This is the stuff that the engineers at companies like Tesla, Google, and Amazon work with every day.

8. How will Xai Robotics prepare my teen for the future?

By the time your teen completes our program, they’ll have built a solid foundation in STEM disciplines. These aren’t just hobbies—they’re the very same skills that are in high demand in today’s tech careers. Whether your teen wants to become an engineer, a programmer, or even an inventor, they’ll be equipped with everything they need to succeed .

Imagine the confidence boost of knowing they can build their own robot from the ground up, or create an AI system that solves real-world problems. Xai Robotics isn’t just about learning—it’s about building the future.

9. Can homeschool students benefit from Xai Robotics?

Yes! We offer a home education instructional program that fits seamlessly into your homeschool schedule. With flexible hours and personalized learning paths, our program enriches your teen's education by offering hands-on STEM experiences that go beyond textbooks. Plus, we’re an approved provider for the PEP and FES-UA scholarships, making it easy to integrate into your home education budget .
