Questions parents ask

Dr. Tao Wang designs every program and leads every class. She has spent 20+ years in AI and robotics, including 12 years building AI at Apple and Adobe, where she led engineering teams.

Our programs are for students in grades 6–12, and Level 1 needs no robotics experience, and no prior programming experience is necessary. If your student has done robotics before, such as a class, a camp, or a VEX or FRC team, they can start at Level 2. Not sure? Ask us at the info session.

Yes. School teams focus on building and competing. Here, students learn why each part works, from motors to code, and apply it in small teams where everyone has a role. It’s a great complement to a school team.

Each level has 8 students, in two teams of four. We usually group students with similar backgrounds and experience, so everyone learns at a comfortable pace. Every student has a role: design, hardware, software, or project lead. Roles rotate, so every student builds, codes, and leads.

Dr. Wang is in the room for every session, sometimes with other instructors. She is a cleared volunteer with the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District. We follow standard safety precautions and provide safety gear whenever students work with tools and electronics.

A parent or guardian signs students in and out of every session. If you’d like your student to arrive or leave on their own, just give us your written consent.

All robotics hardware and materials for the program. Students bring their own laptop, and any laptop works.

No. Robot kits stay in the lab and are reused from cohort to cohort. Instead, every student receives a certificate of completion and a digital project folder with photos, videos, and design notes from their build.

Classes meet in Saratoga, near Saratoga High School. We’ll email the exact address when you register. Dates for the founding cohort will be announced soon, and families on the waitlist hear first. Sessions are one hour each. Level 1 runs over a weekend, and the other levels meet after school on weekdays or on weekends.

We’ll share the session materials so your student can catch up before the next one.

Payment is due when you register for a program. Joining the waitlist is free, so you won’t pay anything until you register. We prefer a check made out to “The New Infinity Inc.,” and we also accept Zelle. You can pay in person when you drop off your student’s signed registration forms.

Protect yourself from scams: we share payment details only in person or by email from [email protected]. Before you send a Zelle payment, check that the recipient name in your banking app matches the one we gave you. We will never ask you to pay by text message, gift card, or cryptocurrency, or from any other email address. If a request looks unusual, email us before you pay.

You’ll get a full refund if you cancel before the program starts. Refunds aren’t available after the first session.
