Minecraft: Galaxy Saga Build
Build a galaxy, one world at a time. Your child designs a starship, then a space station, then a base on a planet nobody has landed on. Ages 6–13 · one hour a week · runs inside the Minecraft Club Boston Parents Family Favorite seven years running Macaroni Kids Favorite 2025 FIRST LEGO League & VEX Judges Award State finalists, FLL & VEX STEM.org accredited CSTA & NGSS aligned Working airlocks. Automated doors. A launch sequence that runs itself. Every one of those has to actually work. A door that opens on command is a condition. An airlock that will not open both sides at once is a rule your child has to write down before they can build it. Space is the setting. Engineering is the lesson. Getting an airlock to work means getting the logic right, and your child will know exactly why it failed the first time. Build an airlock that will not open both doors at once, and tell the pilot which side is safe. We give the requirements, not the steps. Working out how is the lesson. What your child builds A starship with a cockpit, a hold and doors that open on command A…
Minecraft: Wizard School Build
Build a school of magic, block by block. Your child designs a castle — moving doors, hidden passages, a great hall, a tower for each team. Then they make it work. Ages 6–13 · one hour a week · runs inside the Minecraft Club Boston Parents Family Favorite seven years running Macaroni Kids Favorite 2025 FIRST LEGO League & VEX Judges Award State finalists, FLL & VEX STEM.org accredited CSTA & NGSS aligned A castle door that only opens for the right person. The trick is a circuit. Redstone circuits become enchanted doors that only open for the right person, and a potions room that actually brews something. It looks like magic. It is logic. Every trick your child builds is a circuit, a condition, or a loop — the same ideas a programmer uses, learned by building a castle instead of reading about them. Build a door for the tower that opens only for someone carrying the right key, and closes itself behind them. We give the requirements, not the steps. Working out how is the lesson. What your child builds A castle with a great hall, towers and a working front gate Hidden passages that open on a…

Club, Belt or Competition Team?
One ladder, three rungs The requirements for each rung, set out so you can place your child against them rather than guess. Ages 5 to 18 · iCode of Brookline · for the 2026–27 year Boston Parents Family Favorite seven years running Macaroni Kids Family Favorite 2025 FIRST LEGO League & VEX Judges Award State finalists, FLL & VEX STEM.org accredited CSTA & NGSS aligned These are not three products competing for the same cheque. They are three rungs. A club is one hour a week on one subject. The Belt Program is the ten month path. A competition team is an add on for students already on that path, which is why a roster place requires belt or Studio enrolment. Almost every team member started in a club. Week six of a robotics club: a robot that has to find a wall, follow it, and stop when the wall ends. The three, side by side If you read nothing else on this page, read this table.

What You Get Every Month
You will know exactly what your child learned Most parents six weeks into a coding class cannot say what their child has actually learned. This is how we fix that.

A competition robot on a tournament field beside a trophy and a team record. It runs alongside the belt, not instead of it Most centers run a robotics team as a separate Saturday activity. Ours runs parallel to the Belt Program, on the same record. The robot your child builds goes into their portfolio. The season goes onto their transcript. The engineering they do for the team is the engineering their instructor writes about in the monthly report. That is the whole design.
