High school class

Yes. All our classes starting from Advanced Robotics Class level are suitable for a high school students. We run our program in a format of a club. It means children attending a club can be of different ages. We also have a leadership model and if your child is more experienced or smart then he/she will be progressing much faster with all robotics assignments and will be able to become a leader. We prepare students for a real life collaboration where the age does not matter and what really matters are your skills, experience and ability to communicate efficiently. 

Lego Robotics and any other robotics experience

Do you have a Lego robotics classes?

No, we do not use Lego as a platform to build robots. We have analysed over 100 robotics platforms including Lego and selected the best robotics platforms for education. Many of our students has switched from Lego to our Robotics club and enjoy it much more because they say “you can build real things not toys”.

Yes. Please, ask a teacher to give your child assignments if you as a parent/guardian is happy with it. 

Laptops and Robotics Kits

All our student have to bring their own laptops to the class. This is due to hygiene and safety reasons. This also allows our student to continue with their home assignments at home/

We provide you with robotics kit and supply you with required parts and sensors as your child completes levels. 

Parents presence in a class

Can I stay and watch what my child is doing? My child needs support. May I stay in a class with him/her?

You may stay in a classroom to help your child or support them in case they need assistance due to some health, behavioural or developmental conditions. However, due to NSW regulations your need to obtain WWCC. Please, do it beforehand as we won’t allow you to stay in the classroom unless you present your Id and a valid WWCC certificate. 

In all other cases the access to the premises is restricted to conform with the safety.
