Brain rewiring you can see
enhancing your student's ability to focus without a pill
The MiniBot curates receptive patterns that shift your student's brain state with entrainment.
Our robotics is different—and affects your student differently—than any other robotics class.
This Robotics isn't...
surface-level.
Lots of students think robotics is just building a kit.
Building a robotics kit doesn’t automatically make you an expert on robotics because kit often involves following pre-designed steps, limiting activation of your brain’s prefrontal cortex, which is critical for higher-order thinking and problem-solving.
copy and paste.
The brain needs multiple attempts and the opportunity to learn from failure to fully encode expertise. (Brains prefer the opportunity to subtract -- to deduct -- the wrong possibilities.)
Building a kit usually follows a linear path that avoid several possible failure (but custom-made-for-you-learning) points, offering little chance for your brain to weed out existing bad thinking models.
"just give me the answer."
Cognitive flexibility, or the ability to switch between different concepts or approaches, is a hallmark of expertise. Following a step-by-step instruction doesn’t challenge the brain to develop this mental agility. Rote memorization is not learning.
Our Robotics is ...
RECEPTIVITY:
We specialize on how your student receives robotics in their brain.
Did you know, before your brain has an insight, there is usually a "brain quiet" or "neural silence". The thinking part of your front brain shuts down, and your creative part of your brain takes the lead and makes new connections. Your brain shuts down your external sight, and instead, you experience inner-sight. You shift inward, and your sense of time starts to warp like Alice in Wonderland. This moment is similar to the state you experience just before falling asleep, when your mind is wandering freely and ideas seem to pop up out of nowhere.
Suddenly, after the quiet moment, there’s a BURST of activity in the areas linked to language and understanding, meaning your brain is putting the words together to express your new inner sight!
In our academy, we create these moments. On demand.
NEURAL ACTIVATION:
We create hands-on learning that connects your student's physical actions to cognitive growth. Your hands are the signs of your intelligence.
COGNITIVE LOAD:
We deep dive into the brain’s problem-solving capabilities to strengthen its resilience.
Imagine learning is like riding a bike. When the road is flat and easy, you don’t need to work as hard, and your muscles stay the same. But when you ride uphill, your muscles grow stronger over time.
The same thing happens in your brain. When you challenge yourself with hard tasks, your brain strengthens its pathways by adding myelin, a protective layer that helps information travel (jump over) faster, just like building stronger muscles for biking. The more you push your brain, the quicker and better it becomes at handling tough challenges.
ENTRAINMENT:
We develop robotics challenges that elicits clusters of neurons to "lock-in" on coordinated (use your body and your mind) activities. This makes our class unique, purposely-built to steer your student into a desired, focused mental state.
AWARENESS THROUGH ROBOTICS:
Each decision you make on the robot affects its whole. So do you know what you are doing, when you are doing it? That is the highest form of brain function we train. This is what it truly means to be human.

READY TO GIVE US A TRY?
A neuro-robotics school built by science,
for science.
"By integrating neuroscience into our world of robotics education, we empower our students to learn faster, observe more deeply, and design with greater purpose.
Our students become aware of how they learn and how they design. They learn to notice and create meaningful connections for machines and tech useful to humans.
Our mission is to foster human wholeness through robotics innovation, producing graduates and innovators who bring transformative and impactful upgrades to our world.""
