School districts are successfully implementing Expanded Learning with Robotics to provide engaging, standards-aligned learning experiences through Expanded Learning Opportunities Programs (ELO-P), afterschool, summer, intervention, enrichment, and community learning programs.
Using the same robot and platform that support classroom instruction, students engage in mathematics, STEAM, computer science, engineering design, and robotics through authentic hands-on learning experiences that strengthen creativity, collaboration, communication, and real-world problem-solving skills.
Every district has unique priorities, yet all share a common goal: creating meaningful learning experiences that inspire students while preparing them for future success. These district showcases demonstrate how schools and districts tailor Expanded Learning with Robotics to meet local needs while building coherent learning experiences that connect classroom instruction and expanded learning.
Hacienda La Puente Unified School District: One of California's Largest District-Operated Summer Robotics Programs
For many years, Hacienda La Puente Unified School District has successfully implemented Expanded Learning with Robotics through one of California's largest district-operated summer robotics programs.
Each summer, nearly 800 students participate in engaging mathematics, STEAM, computer science, engineering design, and robotics learning experiences using the RoboBlocky platform.
Students participate in:
Computational Storytelling
Engineering Design with Robotics
Design, Build, and Program Their Own Robot Machines
RoboParade™
RoboEngineering Expo™
The program demonstrates how Expanded Learning with Robotics can strengthen mathematics learning while providing an engaging entry point into the RoboBlocky Curriculum. Students build confidence, creativity, collaboration, and engineering design skills while preparing for continued learning throughout the school year.
Orange Unified School District: Summer 2026 Robotics Pilot
. .
. . .
Orange Unified School District successfully piloted Expanded Learning with Robotics during its 2026 summer program.
The pilot served approximately 100 students across four grade bands, including about 20 incoming Kindergarten and Grade 1 students with no previous coding or robotics experience. These students quickly learned to program virtual and physical robots and successfully completed RoboPlay™ Adventure Competitions, demonstrating that even young learners can confidently engage in developmentally appropriate coding and robotics experiences.
Students explored:
Computational Storytelling
Engineering Design with Robotics
Design, Build, and Program Their Own Robot Machines
RoboParade™
RoboEngineering Expo™
RoboPlay™ Competitions
The program concluded with a robotics celebration where students proudly demonstrated their projects to families and the school community.
"Happy kids, happy families, happy teachers!
The kids had fun, teachers had fun, and parents loved it."

Following the pilot, Orange Unified School District began planning to expand Expanded Learning with Robotics into both afterschool and future summer programs, reflecting the enthusiastic response from students, teachers, and families.
Fresno Unified School District: Mathematics Intervention and Academic Acceleration
. .
. .
Fresno Unified School District uses RoboBlocky Math™ courses to support its Advancing Academic Acceleration & Achievement (A4) program.
Students strengthen mathematical understanding through engaging robotics projects and real-world problem solving using courses including:
Robotics Fractions
Robotics Pre-Algebra
Robotics Algebra
Sensor-Based Robotics Geometry
These standards-aligned mathematics courses support intervention, enrichment, academic acceleration, and summer learning while preparing students for future mathematics, STEAM, computer science, and engineering design pathways.
These standards-aligned courses support mathematics intervention, enrichment, academic acceleration, and summer learning while building strong foundations for future STEAM, computer science, and engineering design learning.
Alvord Unified School District: Afterschool Robotics Program
Alvord Unified School District uses Expanded Learning with Robotics in its afterschool programs to provide engaging robotics experiences beyond the regular school day.
Students strengthen mathematics, coding, engineering design, creativity, collaboration, and communication while preparing for districtwide RoboPlay™ Competitions.
For many students, Expanded Learning with Robotics provides an engaging first experience with RoboBlocky, creating a natural pathway into continued mathematics, STEAM, computer science, and engineering design learning.
Why Districts Choose Expanded Learning with Robotics
District implementations demonstrate that Expanded Learning with Robotics provides schools and districts with:
Flexible implementation for ELO-P, afterschool, summer, intervention, enrichment, and community learning
One Robot. One Platform. Unlimited TK–12 Learning Opportunities.
A coherent TK–12 learning solution that integrates mathematics, STEAM, computer science, and engineering design through robotics
Authentic opportunities for computational thinking, engineering design, creativity, collaboration, communication, and real-world problem solving
Student leadership through peer mentoring and service learning
Meaningful culminating experiences through RoboParade™, RoboEngineering Expo™, and RoboPlay™ Competitions

Growing Together
Every district implements Expanded Learning with Robotics differently.
Some begin with summer programs.
Others begin with afterschool programs.
Some focus on mathematics intervention and academic acceleration.
Others emphasize creativity, engineering design, computer science, and robotics exploration.
Using the same robot, platform, curriculum, and professional learning that support classroom instruction, schools and districts can expand their programs over time while maintaining instructional continuity, maximizing district investments, and providing students with coherent learning experiences that grow with them.
Bring Expanded Learning with Robotics to Your District
Whether your district is launching an ELO-P initiative, expanding afterschool programming, strengthening mathematics intervention, or creating engaging summer learning opportunities, Expanded Learning with Robotics provides a flexible, standards-aligned solution built on One Robot, One Platform, Unlimited TK–12 Learning Opportunities.
Discover how your school or district can create engaging, hands-on learning experiences that improve mathematics achievement while inspiring students to explore STEAM, computer science, and engineering design through robotics.
