How workshops run
Workshops enroll in rolling short terms: one seat lets a child rotate through 3 to 4 domains in a year, 7 to 8 weeks each, with a finished piece every session.

What is the focus of this class?
The process rather than how polished the result looks. Students make something, judge it themselves, and then make it better, repeating that loop until building and revising becomes routine. For grades 1 to 3 the point is the habit, not an impressive object to take home.
What if my child's project does not turn out well?
A pretty product was never the goal. The self-assessment step asks a child to say out loud what is not working and then go back and change it, and that loop is precisely the ability the course sets out to train, so an imperfect first attempt is useful rather than wasted.
What grades in Irvine is this for?
Grades 1 to 3, running 35 weeks. EDUBUS is based in Irvine and runs this course as a small in-person group with an online section at the same time. Workshops enroll in rolling short terms, so one seat lets a child rotate through 3 to 4 domains over the year, 7 to 8 weeks each.
How does this help Irvine students later?
It quietly builds the hands-on habits that academic work and the entrepreneurship and financial literacy track will draw on later. Building, assessing and revising is a cycle that returns in every engineering and project-based course further up, and it sits alongside the science and project work children already do at school.
What do Irvine students take next?
It depends on the direction. For more engineering projects, Science Olympiad Engineering takes grades 5 to 8 and works under real resource constraints. For robotics, VEX IQ Robotics Intro combines electronics, mechanics and coding, with sections starting from grade 1.
