Spanish Club
Instructor: Val
Grades: K - 2nd
Mondays @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Minimum of 3 students to run
Spanish Club for K–2 introduces young learners to Spanish through play, movement, music, and storytelling. Designed specifically for early elementary students, the club focuses on building confidence and curiosity rather than memorization or worksheets.
Each session weaves together songs, games, hands-on activities, and simple conversations to help students absorb vocabulary and phrases naturally. Kids practice greetings, colors, numbers, animals, food, and everyday expressions while moving their bodies, working with peers, and having fun.
The club creates a joyful, low-pressure environment where children learn to hear, speak, and understand Spanish as a living language—supporting early language development, listening skills, and cultural awareness.

Robotics ExplorersClub
Instructor: Garrett
Grades: K-2nd
Tuesdays @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Minimum of 3 students to run
Robotics Explorers is perfect for students who are new to robotics as well as those ready to continue building their engineering and coding skills. Using LEGO Education SPIKE Essential and selected SPIKE Prime projects, students will design, build, and program robots that move, react, solve challenges, and tell stories. Each week features a new hands-on engineering challenge that develops creativity, problem solving, teamwork, and introductory coding skills.
Projects are differentiated so that beginners can build foundational skills while returning students tackle increasingly complex engineering and programming challenges. Students who have completed at least two prior robotics sessions at RadAcad and have demonstrated mastery of foundational coding concepts will transition to LEGO Education SPIKE Prime projects, allowing them to work with more advanced sensors, motors, and coding applications.
Because each weekly project stands on its own, students may enroll in either Robotics Explorers or Robotics Innovators, or both.

Whether it is figuring out when those famous trains will finally pass each other, or calculating how many watermelons Sally actually needs, we break down dense text into simple equations. We will learn how to spot "clue words" that tell you exactly which operation you are using, how to build a powerful toolkit of drawing models, making tables, and working backward, how to work in small teams or individually to tackle complex, multi-step challenges and logic puzzles, and transform word problem anxiety into the thrill of shouting, “Problem Solved!” No more guessing what the question is asking—join us and become a certified math detective!
