Frequently Asked Questions
What age range is suitable for your coding and robotics programs?
Our coding and robotics programs are designed for kids aged 4 to 12. We offer age-appropriate curriculum and activities to ensure an engaging and educational experience for each child.
What coding languages or platforms do you teach?
We introduce coding concepts through visual programming languages, such as Scratch, Blockly, and MIT App Inventor, which are perfect for young learners. As children progress, we also introduce text-based programming languages like Python and JavaScript.
Are the classes conducted in-person or online?
Our classes are conducted both in-person and online, providing a dynamic and interactive learning environment for your child. We believe that each teaching approach offers unique benefits that contribute to an enriching educational experience. Physical classes are offered a 1:1 tutoring at a location of your choice within Melbourne, Australia. Online classes are offered as tutor-led or self-paced modules.
What is the class size?
To ensure personalized attention and an interactive learning environment, we maintain small class sizes with a 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio. This allows our instructors to provide individualized guidance and support to each child.
What robotics equipment do you use in your programs?
We utilize a range of robotics kits and tools suitable for different age groups, such as LEGO® Education sets, Arduino-based platforms, and other educational robotics systems. These hands-on tools enable children to apply coding concepts to create and control their own robots.
How long are the programs, and what is the duration of each class?
The program duration varies depending on the specific course. Typically, our programs are structured as a series of classes that run for a certain number of weeks. Each class duration is designed to be engaging and age-appropriate, typically around 60 minutes.
What are the benefits of learning coding and robotics for kids that cannot be provided by other subjects?
Learning coding and robotics offers unique benefits that set it apart from other subjects. Here are some key advantages:
Computational Thinking: Coding and robotics foster computational thinking, a problem-solving approach that enables kids to break down complex challenges into smaller, manageable parts. This valuable skill cultivates logical reasoning, algorithmic thinking, and the ability to approach problems systematically.
Creativity and Innovation: Coding and robotics provide a creative outlet for kids to express their ideas and bring them to life. Through coding, they can create interactive stories, games, animations, and applications. Robotics allows them to design and build their own robots, encouraging innovation and imagination.
Real-World Application: Coding and robotics offer practical and tangible applications in various fields. Kids can see the direct impact of their coding skills in creating software, developing websites, automating tasks, or controlling physical robots. This connection to real-world scenarios enhances their understanding and motivation to learn.
Collaboration and Communication: Coding and robotics often involve teamwork and collaborative projects. Kids learn how to work effectively in groups, share ideas, and communicate their thoughts and solutions. These skills are invaluable in the digital age, where collaboration is a cornerstone of many professional endeavors.
Future-Proofing Skills: In today’s digital era, coding and robotics skills are increasingly in demand across industries. By acquiring these skills early on, kids gain a competitive edge and position themselves for future career opportunities. Coding and robotics provide a strong foundation in technology that can open doors to diverse fields such as software development, engineering, data analysis, and more.
