Build it. Code it. Watch it move.

Robokids Coding is a hands-on tech club for children aged 7 to 12. We learn by making: games in Scratch, robots that follow a line, and 3D models you can hold in your hand.

Your turn!

Tap a block and Robo will do it. Press the yellow one to run them all.

Five ways to start making

Each course is built around projects. Children leave with something they made themselves and can explain how it works.

Ages 7–12

Coding

Children start with Code.org puzzles, then move on to Scratch to build their own games and animated stories using loops, conditions and variables.

Ages 8–12

Robotics

From LEGO builds to mBot and Arduino, children wire up sensors and motors, then program robots to follow lines, dodge obstacles and play football.

  • LEGO
  • Makeblock mBot
  • Arduino

Ages 8–12

3D Design

Children design their own models in Tinkercad, then watch the 3D printer build them layer by layer into something they can take home.

  • 3D printing

Ages 9–12

AI

Children find out how machines learn. They train a computer to recognise pictures and sounds, build a simple chatbot, and talk about using AI safely and fairly.

Ages 7–12

Brain Games

Strategy, memory and logic games that stretch attention and problem solving, with plenty of laughing along the way.

Skills that outlast the lesson

Code is the tool. These are the habits children practise every time they use it.

Algorithmic thinking

Breaking a big problem into small steps, then putting those steps in the right order.

Problem solving

When the robot turns left instead of right, they hunt down the bug and fix it themselves.

Creativity

Every project starts with their own idea: a character, a game, a machine nobody has built before.

Communication

Children explain how their project works and present it to the rest of the group.

Teamwork

They build in pairs, share the kit, swap ideas and help each other get unstuck.

Confidence

Children go from using technology to making things with it, and they finish what they start.

How a Robokids class works

Four things stay the same whatever we are building that day.

6

Small groups

Up to six children in a group, so everyone gets help when they need it.

0

Things to bring

Laptops, robots and materials are ready on the table. Curiosity is the only kit required.

DBS

Safe and friendly

Sessions are led by a DBS-checked tutor in a calm, supervised space.

100%

Fun first

We play, build and experiment. The learning sneaks in along the way.

You will notice Robo covering the children's faces. We do that in every photo we share.
