Future Proof With Robotics for Kids. STEM & Engineering
Artificial intelligence, coding and robotics are transforming the way youths learn and engage with technology in 2024. We get hands on with our technology within our small, in-person classes. We believe in the power of hands-on learning to inspire student’s creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in our robotics course. Through robotics, students not only learn how to build and code robots but also understand the real-world applications of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Robotics education encourages curiosity and helps prepare children for a future where technological literacy will be essential. Our programs are designed to be fun, interactive, and suited to different age groups. Enrol today with a free trial!
Kubo Robot Building For Kids (Age 5-8)
Kubo Robotics for kids introduces young learners to coding and problem-solving in a fun and engaging way. Designed specifically for children aged 5-8, Kubo uses a tactile, puzzle-like coding system, where students connect tiles to create sequences that control their robot. These sessions are perfect for beginners, as no prior coding experience is required. The programs encourages creativity and collaboration, helping kids understand the basics of robotics and coding while developing important fine motor skills and teamwork. This introduction to block based coding is a great introduction to STEM based learning.
Edison Bots (Age 8-12)
Edison Bots (Ages 8-12)
Edison Bots – Robot building for kids. We offer a step up for children ready to take on more advanced challenges in robotics. These versatile robots can be programmed using drag-and-drop coding or text-based programming languages like Python, making them suitable for kids aged 8-12. Through fun, interactive lessons, students learn how to navigate mazes, avoid obstacles, and even respond to sound and light. The Edison Bot program not only enhances coding skills but also deepens students’ understanding of engineering concepts and problem-solving strategies in an exciting, hands-on environment. Youths can learn robotics in our studios, but we also offer online classes.
Lego Engineering (Age 12+)
Our LEGO Engineering program combines the excitement of building with lego® bricks, and the power of coding to create fully functional robots. Geared toward kids aged 12+, this robot building for kids’ program teaches engineering concepts as students design, build, and program their own robots using LEGO. With sensors, motors, and intelligent bricks, kids can bring their creations to life, enabling robots to perform tasks, solve challenges, and navigate obstacles. This program is targeted at problem-solving, creativity, computational thinking and technical skills in a hands-on, engaging way, captivating interest and encouraging kids to think like true engineers in the world of robotics.

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.
Class environment
Our classes for coding games for kids is FUN! Kids love creating games, apps and interactive projects. It's also a great way to make new friends. Plus, you'll see their creative thinking skills improve as they become creators, not just consumers. The possibilities are endless and only limited by your children’s imagination.
Creative Imaginations
Our game development for kids classes allow children to express their creativity and imagination by designing characters, worlds, and gameplay mechanics. It encourages them to think outside the box and come up with innovative ideas, fostering their artistic and imaginative abilities.
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.
Social Interaction
Kids love creating games, apps and interactive projects. Our classes for coding games for kids is also a great way to make new friends. Plus, you'll see their creative thinking skills improve as they become creators, not just consumers. The possibilities are endless and only limited by your children’s imagination.Parent Comments About Our Robotics Classes For Kids
