Description

Our courses consist of two semesters: Level 1 and Level 2, which take place within one year and include a total of 37 classes. Typically, students complete a year of lessons before moving on to a more advanced course. However, in some cases, if their teacher believes they are ready, they can advance earlier.

Robotics for Beginners: Spike Essential *NEW COURSE*

Age groups: 7-8 years old

What We Study
Children learn foundational skills in robot building, programming, mechanics, and technology. They explore concepts like commands, loops, sensors, microprocessors, and basic mechanics through themed projects such as animal robots, transport, and attractions. The key learning approach encourages curiosity with a “What if?” mindset, where children experiment, test theories, and aren’t afraid to make mistakes.

What We Achieve
Children gain essential knowledge of technology, mechanics, computer science, and programming. They become comfortable with technical concepts and terminology and develop teamwork skills. By the end of the course, students are able to independently design, build, program, and present their own robot projects. 

A Look Into the Class
Each session begins with an engaging presentation on the day’s topic, followed by collaborative building where students create LEGO-based robot models. For example, in the Ferris Wheel lesson, children build a robot named Willy, program it to spin and stop cabins safely, add color sensors, and label components in their notebooks — all while learning about the world’s tallest Ferris wheel in Dubai.


Robotics for Beginners: Spike Essential *NOUVEAU COURS*

Groupe d’âge: 7 à 8 ans

Ce que nous étudions

Les enfants apprennent les bases de la construction de robots, de la programmation, de la mécanique et de la technologie. À travers des projets thématiques (robots animaux, moyens de transport, manèges), ils explorent des concepts comme les commandes, boucles, capteurs, microprocesseurs et mécanismes de base. L’approche pédagogique favorise la curiosité et la pensée critique avec une mentalité de type « Et si...? ». Les enfants sont invités à expérimenter, à tester leurs idées et à apprendre de leurs erreurs.


Ce que nous accomplissons

Les enfants acquièrent des connaissances essentielles en technologie, mécanique, informatique et programmation. Ils se familiarisent avec des concepts techniques et le vocabulaire associé, tout en développant des compétences en travail d’équipe. À la fin du cours, les élèves sont capables de concevoir, construire, programmer et présenter leurs propres projets robotiques de manière autonome.


Un aperçu du cours

Chaque séance commence par une présentation interactive du sujet du jour, suivie d’une période de construction collaborative. Les élèves créent des modèles robotiques en LEGO. Par exemple, dans la leçon sur la Grande Roue, les enfants construisent un robot nommé Willy, le programment pour faire tourner et arrêter les cabines en toute sécurité, ajoutent des capteurs de couleur, puis notent les composants dans leur carnet, tout en apprenant des faits amusants sur la plus grande Grande Roue du monde à Dubai!
