This Spring 2026, GoSolar! Kidz is offering:

After-School Solar Robots (4-Session Program)
Non-School Day Solar Cars, Robot & Machines Camp (Full-Day Experience)

Both programs are designed for Grades K–6 and built around one powerful goal:

Helping children understand renewable energy while building real, working solar-powered creations.

🌞 Spring After-School Class: Solar Robots

This 4-session after-school class gives students the opportunity to design and build epic solar-powered robots from easy-to-assemble parts.

What Students Build & Learn:

  • Solar-powered robots

  • Solar cranes

  • Lift bridges

  • Mechanical moving structures

  • Energy transfer concepts

  • Basic engineering design principles

Each session is 1 hour long (4 total hours) and hosted conveniently at participating schools.

Why Solar Energy Education Matters for Your Child:

The world is shifting toward clean energy solutions. Introducing solar energy concepts at a young age helps children:

  • Develop environmental awareness

  • Build early engineering confidence

  • Strengthen problem-solving skills

  • Improve focus and analytical thinking

  • Gain exposure to future-ready STEM fields

GoSolar! Kidz has introduced more youth to green energy concepts in Minnesota than any other organization — and our mission is to make renewable energy education exciting, practical, and accessible.

The Spring Advantage:

Spring brings brighter days and more sunlight — making it the ideal time to explore solar power in action. When students see their robots and cars respond to light, the science becomes real, memorable, and meaningful.

This is learning that sticks.

Limited Enrollment — Register Early

Both programs have limited capacity (7–25 students per session).

Our spring programs consistently fill quickly, especially non-school day camps.

If you want your child to:

✔ Build real solar-powered machines
✔ Gain confidence in STEM
✔ Learn about renewable energy
✔ Experience structured, high-quality enrichment
✔ Have fun while learning

Now is the time to secure their spot.
