02 The tracks
Every track runs ten weeks, meets once a week, and ends with a project your child can show you. Coding Lab runs one of its three tools per session and can extend to fourteen weeks. No experience needed, and kids can switch tracks next term.

Four lessons. Twenty Codex labs.
Students start with four big ideas, then build Codex projects one part at a time — ten core labs, plus ten advanced labs. They test, explain every choice, and finish with something they can show.
Three tracks. One studio.
Godot, Unity3D, and Blender are separate tracks. Each session runs one track — a Unity project through the Spring, for example, or Godot projects in summer camp. Ten to fourteen weeks, one hour at a time.
Build a robot that reacts to the room.
Teams build with LEGO EV3 and SPIKE and program in Scratch, using custom blocks for sensors, drive routines, and missions. Every term ends with a challenge and a showcase.
03 Inside a term
Coding Lab · Unity3D track
A term is a project, not a syllabus. In the Unity3D track, students start with an empty scene and finish with a 3D RPG they can play — one system per class.
Classes 01–03
Open Unity, learn the editor, and get a first script running. Then spawn the first health potion.
Build The first potion appears in the scene.
Classes 04–07
Copy and paste stops scaling. Students write functions, pass parameters, call them, and clean up the code.
Build One function spawns potions at any angle and radius.
Classes 08–10
The code becomes a system: classes, access, and loops. Small pieces that work together.
Build A class-based spawner the code can reuse.
Classes 11–14
A money spawner, named constants, a real challenge, a custom character, and a finished project.
Build A second loot system and a finished RPG.
Every class ends with a change you can see in the game. The term ends with a quiz, a playable build, and a short explanation of how it works.
Shown: the Unity3D track. Godot and Blender follow their own project arcs.
04 The method
AI can write the code now. It cannot decide what is worth building, notice when something is off, or keep going when the first version flops. That is the part we practice.
“He came home talking about sensors. Not the game he was playing. The sensors.”
Every project starts with a kid’s question, not a worksheet. The question is the curriculum.
Working beats perfect. First drafts are supposed to be rough, and they still go in front of the group.
We ask what would prove this wrong, then go find out. That habit outlasts any programming language.
If you cannot walk someone through it, you do not own it yet. The final presentation is the exam.
05 Inside the studio
3D printers, a wall of LEGO SPIKE kits, and enough screens that nobody has to wait. It is a working room, so it looks like one.
06 Word of mouth
We ask families at week four, once the novelty has worn off and the real work has started. These are the answers that keep coming back.
She has never once said she was bored. That is the whole review.
The final presentation was the most confident I have seen him. He built the whole thing himself.
We tried two other programs. This is the one where they actually make things.
07 Questions
Still not sure? Call 650.888.3650 or email info@steamworks.tech. A real person answers.
AI Adventure Club is built for grades 3–6, Coding Lab for grades 1–6, and Robotic Workshop for grades K–6. If your child is just outside those ranges, call us and we will find the right fit.
No. Every track starts from zero and groups are capped at twelve, so an instructor can sit with a stuck child for five minutes if that is what it takes. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
Tell us your child’s grade and interests, and we will recommend the track and session that fit best. If you are torn between two, we will talk it through before you book.
Nothing. Laptops, robotics kits, and all materials are provided.
We are open Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30pm, and Wednesday from 1:30 to 5:30pm. We sign every child out at the door and release them only to adults on the authorized-pickup list.
Tell us ahead of time and we will schedule a make-up session so your child does not fall behind.
Rates depend on the program. Call 650.888.3650 or email info@steamworks.tech for current pricing and availability.
Instructors with classroom and engineering backgrounds. All are background-checked and trained on our curriculum, and the same instructor stays with a group for the whole term.
