Our student Ahan, 12, travels from Shrewsbury every day—his dad drives 1.5 hours one way just to get him to Vinci Robotics. Why go to such lengths? The answer is simple—our courses are professional, hands-on, and help kids truly grow. 👉 Though he had a little coding experience before, after a short time at Vinci, Ahan can now independently program a robot drivetrain in C++. He’s gone from simple block coding to tackling real code challenges, and he may even learn Python in t

At Vinci, we don’t push kids to “go faster.”We guide them to fully experience one complete process—turning ideas into real projects, and building skills step by step. Summer is the best time for deep immersion.A 5-day to 2-week full-day camp gives children far more than scattered classes:hands-on thinking, collaboration, communication, and real engineering logic. ⏳ Enrollment is now open. Weekly spots are limited—miss it, and you’ll have to wait until next year. 1️⃣ Innovatio

After talking with many parents recently, one thing has become increasingly clear: the question isn’t whether kids should learn programming or robotics — it’s how to choose. Some kids can sit still and think logically for long periods. Some lose focus when writing code, but light up the moment they start building robots. Others are young, yet already love turning ideas into real, tangible things. So we stepped back and reorganized how children learn. We now offer four distinc

USACO’s latest reform gives a clear answer: Yes. And it matters more than ever. For the 2025–2026 season, USACO shifted its focus from“ Can you write code? ”to“ Can you think algorithmically? ” AI can generate code.But it can’t replace students who can:• identify problems• design solutions• choose optimal algorithms That’s exactly what USACO is testing now. 🔥 What changed in USACO? ✔ Proctored in-person finals✔ Certified scores required for advancement✔ Earlier and more comp
