Robotics Classes in Hillsboro, Oregon

Hands-on Python and electronics for students 8–14 in the Hillsboro area — writing real MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico 2 hardware, year-round.

Why Learn by Make in Hillsboro?

Hillsboro is home to one of the highest concentrations of working engineers in the United States. Intel's campus alone employs thousands of chip designers, process engineers, and software developers — and the broader tech corridor extends through Orenco Station, Tanasbourne, and South Hillsboro. The families here understand what real engineering looks like. Learn by Make is built to match that standard: a curriculum grounded in Python syntax, digital circuits, and genuine debugging practice — the same foundational skills their parents use at work, introduced in a structured sequence starting at age 8.
