There is something special about crab legs. Whether it is the tender, sweet crab meat, the decadent melted butter or the camaraderie of the dining experience, an evening enjoying crab legs is always a party. The Cajun Market at Bourbon Street Bar & Grill is bringing the party on Saturdays with a new half-price snow crab special every week.  

Beginning on Saturday, Aug. 3, The Cajun Market will offer snow crab platters for $18 for a pound ($36 regular price) or $9 per half pound (regularly $18). Platters are served with the traditional corn and potato accoutrements.

The offer is good for dine-in and take-out orders placed by calling the restaurant. Not available for third-party delivery.

In today's world, robotics and artificial intelligence are at the forefront of technological advancement, shaping industries and everyday life in unprecedented ways. Preparing children for this future means equipping them with the skills and knowledge to navigate and thrive in a world driven by innovation. Robotics classes offer children a gateway to a world of innovation, creativity, and problem-solving. At Magikid Robotics Lab in Dallas, students dive into the fascinating realm of robotics through engaging, hands-on STEM after-school classes. These classes not only cultivate essential technical skills but also foster teamwork, critical thinking, and a passion for learning. Let’s explore what kids do in robotics classes at Magikid, the ages at which they can start, and how our renowned competition training differs from regular classes.

What Do Kids Do in Robotics Classes?

Robotics classes at Magikid are designed to be both educational and fun. Students engage in a variety of activities that challenge their minds and encourage active participation. Here’s a glimpse of what they experience:

1. Building and Programming Robots:
• Building: Kids use various robotic sets (Ollo, VEX, and Lego Robotics) to construct their robots. This hands-on activity helps them understand the basics of engineering, mechanics, math, and physics.
• Programming: Students learn to program their robots using kid-friendly coding languages. This teaches them logic, sequence, and problem-solving. Programming via robotics brings things to life and makes the learning more intuitive and straightforward.
2. Interactive and Creative Projects:
• Magikid students participate in projects that integrate multiple STEM disciplines. They might design robots to solve real-world problems, like cleaning up waste or assisting in tasks. Each class is project-based, providing students with a clear objective that cultivates their creativity.
3. Collaboration and Teamwork:
• Working in teams, students learn the value of collaboration. They brainstorm, plan, and execute their projects together, developing strong communication and interpersonal skills.
4. Challenges and Competitions:
• Kids are encouraged to participate in friendly challenges and local competitions, where they can test their robots and showcase their skills.

At What Age Can Kids Learn Robotics?

At Magikid Robotics Lab, children as young as 4 years old can start learning robotics. While it might seem that 4 years old is too young, this age group benefits greatly from early exposure to STEM concepts. Young children are naturally curious and adept at learning through play. Robotics classes harness this curiosity by introducing basic engineering and programming concepts in a fun and engaging way. Simple tasks like building basic structures and using block programming to make a robot move are well within the capabilities of young learners, setting a strong foundation for more advanced learning as they grow.

Robotics Competition Training: How Does It Differ from Regular Robotics Classes?

Robotics classes at Magikid are structured to accommodate various learning styles and paces. Students meet once a week for 90 or 120 minutes. Each class is designed to be interactive and hands-on, ensuring that students are actively involved in the learning process. Whether your child is a beginner or has some experience, there’s a place for them at Magikid.

Competition training at Magikid is more intensive and focused on specific competition goals. Students learn advanced building and programming techniques, teamwork, and strategic planning. They receive guidance from experienced coaches and mentors who have a track record of success in robotics competitions. Students in the competition team meet more often (typically 7 hours or more per week) to perfect their skills.
