Grades 6–12 · Saratoga, CA · Founding cohort prices end Nov 10

Don’t just assemble robots. Understand how they work.

Hands-on robotics and AI in teams of four. Students learn the physics, electronics, and code behind every part, then use that understanding to solve real challenges.

For students

Build a robot that sees and steers itself.

In Level 2, your team builds this robot from real parts, then writes the Python code that lets it steer itself around a course.

A mobile robot with mecanum wheels, a Raspberry Pi computer, a camera, and a power board
  1. Mecanum wheelsRoll in any direction, even sideways.
  2. Raspberry Pi computerRuns the Python code your team writes.
  3. CameraLets the robot see the course in front of it.
  4. Power boardTurns battery power into the right voltage for every part. You’ll measure it yourself.
Challenge

Think you know how robots work? Try these.

Easy to ask. But you have to understand the robot to answer them.

What makes a motor spin?

Physics + electronics

How do you slow it down, or reverse it?

Electronics + controls

Why does a faster robot get less stable on a turn?

Physics + design

Want the answers? Level 1 is where you find out.

How we teach

Most programs teach kids to build robots. Few teach how they work.

School teams focus on building and competing. We focus on understanding.

Typical school robotics team compared with The New Infinity
Typical school teamThe New Infinity
Large teams; a few students do most of the workTeams of four, every student has a role
Assemble pre-made partsLearn why each part works
Trial and error until it worksDesign, test, and refine with measurements
A great complement to a school team, not a replacement for it.

We measure, not guess

Every session starts with one question. For example, how would you know a battery is healthy? The meter can look fine until the battery has real work to do. Knowing what to measure, and why, is what engineers do.

AI is the tool. Understanding is the skill.

From Level 2, students use AI to help write and fix code. But AI can’t hold the probes, or look at a robot and see why it keeps drifting left.

How enrollment works

Four simple steps

  1. 1Reserve a spotFree and takes about a minute. No payment yet.
  2. 2We confirm the teamLevel 1 is confirmed by Nov 8 with 4 students. If not, we reschedule. You pay nothing.
  3. 3Enroll and payFor Level 1, by Wednesday, Nov 11. Full refund if you cancel before the program starts.
  4. 4Start buildingLevel 1: Sunday, Nov 15, 1–5 pm, in Saratoga. All hardware is provided.
Founding cohort

Reserve a spot in the founding cohort

Only 8 students per level, in two teams of four. Reserving is free, and nothing is paid until you enroll. Level 2 dates are set with each team, and Level 3 starts in early 2027.

Sessions meet in Dr. Wang’s home robotics lab in Saratoga, near Saratoga High School. We share the exact address with families once they confirm and pay. Parents are welcome to stay for the first session.

Tao Wang, PhD

With 20+ years in AI and robotics, Dr. Wang is a former Purdue professor and former engineering leader at Apple and Adobe, with executive education from Stanford GSB. She designs every program and leads every session.

“After years of researching and building AI, I want students to do more than use it: to understand it, question it, and build with it.”
