State-Specific Expanded Learning (e.g., California ELO-P)

​

In states like California, the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELO-P) provides ongoing funding to support students in TK–6. Our solutions specifically address:

• The 9-Hour Mandate [EC § 46120(b)(1)]: LEAs must offer a minimum of nine hours of combined instructional and expanded learning time. Creator Bot provides the high-engagement "bridge" curriculum needed to sustain student interest through the full 9-hour day.

• Active and Engaged Learning [Quality Standard 2]: Per CDE guidelines, programs must reflect meaningful learning methods. Our PBL-based robotics labs are a direct application of this standard, ensuring your program plan is audit-ready.

• 30-Day Intersession [EC § 46120(b)(4)(B)]: We offer turn-key "Intersession Kits" designed specifically for the 30-day non-school day requirement (Summer/Winter/Spring breaks).

• Proposition 28 (CA Education Code § 8820 - The Arts and Music in Schools Funding Guarantee is a permanent constitutional mandate in California.

  • Media Arts Integration [EC § 8820(g)(4)]: "Arts education program" includes Media Arts. Our robotics kits are a primary tool for teaching creative expression, graphic design, and digital media through technology.

  • Materials & Supplies: Up to 20% of Prop 28 funds can be used for the hardware and supplies needed to run our STEAM-integrated labs.

​

Federal Title IV, Part A (Student Support & Academic Enrichment)

​

Available in all 50 states, Title IV-A funds are designed to provide a "Well-Rounded Education."

• STEM & Computer Science [Section 4107(a)(3)(C)]: Specifically authorizes "programs to improve instruction and student engagement in STEM," including robotics and nonprofit competitions.

• Effective Use of Technology [Section 4109]: Authorizes the purchase of devices, equipment, and software applications to address readiness shortfalls and provide digital learning opportunities.

​

Perkins V (Career & Technical Education)

​

For Middle and High Schools, Perkins V funding supports career-connected learning.

• Modernizing CTE Programs [Section 135(b)(7)]: Authorizes the use of funds to "initiate, improve, expand, and modernize quality career and technical education programs, including relevant technology."

• Career Exploration [Section 135(b)(1)]: Our Mini-Bot and Mega-Bot systems are designed for students in the middle grades and above to begin systematic career exploration in high-wage, high-skill robotics pathways.

​

21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC)

​

• This federal program supports community learning centers that provide academic enrichment during non-school hours. Our turnkey kits are the perfect fit for 21st CCLC sites looking to boost student attendance and engagement through hands-on coding and engineering.
