In the sun-drenched, cactus-dotted state of Arizona, a peculiar breed of kids have been discovered. They are not your average comic book reading, soccer playing, ice-cream eating kiddos. Nay, these are the Robo Rangers, young heroes who have traded in their pencils and paintbrushes for pliers and programming codes. Yup, you heard it right, these pint-sized geniuses spend their free time tinkering with robots! Our story is set in the midst of Arizona's sprawling desert landscape, where the Grand Canyon yawns and the Saguaro cacti, standing tall like ancient sentinels, keep watch. Amidst this wild, dusty expanse you'll find our Robo Rangers huddled together, their heads buried in blueprints, their fingers a whirl of motion as they assemble their magnificent robotic creatures. Leading this pack of tech whizzes is the always cheerful, always a tad offbeat - Cogsworth Crankshaft. Cogsworth, with his frizzy mop of hair and glasses perpetually perched on the tip of his nose, is like the cool, quirky uncle of robotics. His favorite attire? A shirt that screams "Keep Calm and Solder On." The Robo Rangers and Cogsworth spend many a sunny Arizona day in their beloved workshop, affectionately dubbed the "Bolt Bungalow". Their laughter and the whir of drills and humming of circuits fill the air, under the watchful eyes of the ever-stoic Saguaro cacti, who, though they have a prickly exterior, are really just big softies at heart. In Arizona, where the sun always shines and the robotic revolution has begun, our Robo Rangers are leading the charge. So grab your safety goggles and prepare yourself for a hilarious, high-octane adventure of circuit boards, computer chips, and, of course, cacti!

Parents know that their children's time away from home and school matters. The Learning, Enrichment, and Play (LEAP) program offered by the Marana Unified School District provides supervised, secure learning and play experiences for children enrolled in pre-K through sixth grade. The LEAP sites are licensed facilities, located at each elementary school in the district, and provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for children to learn, play, and grow. For middle schoolers, the Teen Extended Day (TED) program offers academic enrichment tailored to their needs. With LEAP and TED, parents can feel confident that their children are in a secure environment, receiving the educational and enrichment opportunities they need.
