Benefits Kids Get From Robotics & Engineering

Problem Solving

Our game development for kids classes teach kids to think critically and creatively. They need to analyse problems, identify solutions, and make decisions to create a playable and enjoyable game. Video game design helps develop their problem-solving skills, which are essential in various aspects of life.

Future Proofing

Australian schools lack the resources to deliver the skills your child requires. An older teaching workforce and the newness of game design mean that schools are still scrambling to up-skill. Research shows only 1 in 3 ICT teachers are qualified to teach coding, let alone game design. Programming games for kids is a great way to future proof your child's skills.

Team Work

Jobs of the future will require STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths). As well as this, many game design projects involve teamwork, where children work together to bring their ideas to life. Collaboration teaches them effective communication, compromise, and the value of working together to achieve a common goal. Our courses in coding games for kids will improve all areas of your child's development, guaranteed.

  • Are these programs conducted in-person or online?

    Our Robotics, STEM, and Engineering courses are conducted in-person at iCode School locations, allowing students to get hands-on experience with physical equipment and work collaboratively in small groups.

  • How does iCode School ensure the safety of my child in these hands-on courses?

    At iCode School, we prioritise safety in all our programs. Our class sizes are kept small to ensure individual attention, and all activities are supervised by experienced Code Coaches. We use child-safe materials and teach students how to handle equipment responsibly.

  • Can my child join mid-term or do they need to wait for the next session?

    In most cases, your child can join mid-term, depending on availability. We assess new students individually to ensure they can catch up comfortably and benefit fully from the program.

  • What exactly are robotics classes?

    Ah, the magical world of learning robotics! Think of it as a playground where technology and creativity collide. In these classes, little Einsteins get to build their own robot companions using LEGO® bricks and other cool materials. Not only do they learn the art of construction and programming, but they also dive into the fascinating universe of coding and strategic thinking.

  • What can my little robot newbie expect during the trial class?

    Expect a whirlwind of excitement! During the trial class, your little one will embark on a mini-adventure where they’ll get to experiment with building their own robot, dabble in some coding (maybe even with Python!), and engage in some friendly teamwork.

  • Are these robotics classes suitable for beginners?

    Absolutely! Whether your child is a robot newbie or a budding tech whiz, our robotics sessions are designed to cater to all skill levels. The first step is always the hardest, but with our enthusiastic tutors and a supportive environment, your little explorer will feel right at home. Who knows? They might just be the next robotics student prodigy!
