Circuit Kids Robotics Lab fills its Downtown Santa Monica classroom with gears, motors, and half-built robots in every stage of glorious chaos. Kids code, wire, and troubleshoot in small teams, learning that a robot that doesn't work the first time is just part of the process. Most sessions end with a mini obstacle course and a lot of cheering.
Grouped by class — pick a time that works.

Instructor Priya is fantastic with the kids — after class my kid wouldn't stop talking about it at dinner. Genuinely one of the best activities we've tried on the Westside.
Can't say enough good things about Instructor Priya. my kid went from nervous to getting their robot to actually drive straight in just a few weeks. Drop-off line moves fast even when the lot is full. We'll be back every session.
This has become the highlight of our week. the small group size means my kid actually gets individual attention. They're debugging their own code now and so proud of it.
Decent class overall, a few things could be smoother. My kid still enjoys it and is slowly wiring a sensor by themselves, but a couple of classes have been cancelled last minute with short notice.
Can't say enough good things about Instructor Sam. watching my kid go from shy to confident here has been amazing — now they're explaining how their robot works like it's nothing. Worth every credit.
Instructor Sam is nice enough, though communication about schedule changes could be better. My kid still enjoys it and is slowly debugging their own code, but a couple of classes have been cancelled last minute with short notice.

Instructor Sam is fantastic with the kids — my kid went from nervous to explaining how their robot works in just a few weeks. The little lot fills up fast so we just park around the corner. We'll be back every session.
It's fine — kid enjoys it but I've seen better organized programs. Group sizes have crept up lately and it shows. Weekend parking gets crowded but there's usually a spot within a block. Kid still likes going, so we'll stick with it for now.
