One of the best projects a kid or teen can undertake is building a motorized toy car.  Making a toy is an excellent entry-level for creating a real robot.  We can show your kids to build one of these cars, and they will learn about engineering and electrical systems.

Our Instructor, Hanif, with children and robots
Mr. Bady provided two excellent robotics workshops with his son at two different schools with two different age groups. At each site his presentation was well received, age appropriate and effective. Most importantly it was of great value to the students, most of whom were exposed to the world of robotics and applied science for the first time.

Glenn is an excellent Chess teacher. Glenn has been my son's chess teacher for over 5 years, and is continuing with Glenn. Not only has Glenn taught my son the fundamentals of Chess, but he has helped my son focus attention, present himself with a calm demeanor in competition, and advance gracefully from failure. These skills have allowed my son to develop elegantly as a person at a young age, and will continue to affect him throughout life. Glenn has achieved the esteemed title of Life Master of Chess, and we are honored to learn from him.

Alice Williams, My afterschool children are between the ages of 5 and 10. I was looking for an engaging activity that would keep their attention. A friend referred me to Glenn, I was pleasantly please with his teaching methods and his positive interactions with my children.

Mother of Wes Champlin. Great job with Wes. He can usually can be a handful. Most of his teachers complain about him being such a busy body. Winning the Kindergarten State Championship was an exciting experience. He can't stop talking about it. We'll see you this summer

I met Glenn about 4-5 years ago when he was running an after school program at Penllyn Woods Community Center. Since meeting Glenn, he has guided the children in his club, many of whom have been Upper Dublin kids to 4 straight Pa State Chess Club Championship, and produced numerous individual state champions, including my Charlis, this year. Glenn is a superior chess instructor and organizer. Thanks Glenn

"Glenn has been a terrific chess instructor for my boys now ages 9 and 11. He started teaching them when they were young and I believe that the problem-solving skills of chess have enhanced their math abilities. Glenn provides them with personal attention and has kept them interested in the game all these years. He consistently teaches them new techniques and gives them the confidence and knowledge to be able to play and win in tournaments. I highly recommend Glenn if you want your children to learn, enjoy and excel in chess."

Hey Glenn.  It was nice to hear from you a few weeks ago.  Just wanted to let you know that Matt is doing well.  He is finishing up his tenure of President of the Chess Club and Captain of the Chess Team for his high school.  Further, he has been accepted to most of the business colleges he applied to, but hasn't made a decision yet.  His college essay was all about how years of chess trained his mind and spirit to analyze situations, anticipate how his decisions will play out, and generally shaped his world view.  I don't recall if I have ever thanked you before for this gift you have given him.  So if I haven't...Thank you!!!   Roy
