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. This course is Level 2, students must complete level 1 before joining level 2.

Robotics for beginners Level 2
Age group: 7 - 8 years old
What we study:
In this course, students will bring their builds to life. They will be using Lego to construct autonomous robots which they will then program to complete tasks. They will be using Wedo, an introductory coding software that uses drag and drop visuals to teach coding language concepts. Students in this course will be introduced to important components necessary to create a successful build- such as motors, suspension and different gears and transmissions!
A look into the class:
The beginning of the course follows a presentation animated by the teacher, in which children will learn about something different in each class. For instance, they might be building an off-road vehicle. They will look at how it works, the history behind it and then the essential parts that create movement. They will then start their build, working in pairs using instructions on an Ipad to complete their builds together. The teacher is there to provide guidance and answer any questions they may have.
What we achieve:
Students use the Lego Education WeDo 2.0 app to program their own robots. They will be introduced to the world of coding for the first time. Students will be shown new components such as sensors, manipulation, infrared and wireless connections. They will also familiarize themselves with different mechanisms (crank, transmission, gear and belt transmission).
