Live, never pre-recorded
Every lesson was a live video call. Children could ask questions, show their screen and get help straight away.

Coding lessons that came to the kitchen table
When classrooms closed during the pandemic, Robokids moved online. Most of our online lessons took place in that period: live, with a real tutor, and with children coding on their own computer at home.
How an online lesson worked
Screen sharing both ways
The tutor demonstrated a step, then the child shared their own screen and tried it for themselves.
Help the moment they were stuck
With the child's screen in view, the tutor could spot the block that needed fixing and talk them through it.
Times that suited families
Lessons were arranged around each family's week, which made it easier to keep a routine going.
What a child needed
- An internet connection
- A computer or tablet with a camera
- A quiet corner and a bit of curiosity
Tools we used
Zoom
For the live video lesson and screen sharing.
Coding with Scratch worked especially well online, because everything runs in a browser.
