Our Robotics & Arduino course is designed for students aged 7–16. Younger students (7–10) start with the Foundations term with simpler projects, while older students (11–16) can progress faster into advanced terms. We assess each student's level during the free taster session to find the perfect starting point.

No prior coding experience is needed! Term 1 starts from absolute basics — we'll teach everything from scratch, including how to set up the Arduino software. Students with some experience may be able to start at a later term.

You'll need a computer with a USB port and internet access. After enrolment, we provide detailed guidance on which Arduino starter kit to purchase (typically £25–40 online). We recommend specific kits that include all the components needed for the first few terms. As students progress, additional components may be needed — we always give advance notice.

Each term is approximately 12 weeks (3 months), aligned with school terms. Students attend one session per week and progress through the curriculum at a comfortable pace. Some students move faster, some take longer — we adapt to each individual.

All sessions are recorded and available for 7 days, so your child can catch up at their own pace. If you know in advance, let us know and we can try to arrange an alternative slot. We understand that life happens — occasional missed sessions won't hold students back.

Yes! While it's ideal to start at the beginning of a term, we can accommodate mid-term joins. We'll assess where the group is and provide catch-up materials so your child can get up to speed quickly. Book a taster session and we'll discuss the best approach.
