About this programme
Robotics & AI After-School Programme
What if your child's after-school hours could be more than homework and screen time?
The Robotics & AI After-School Programme gives children aged 4–17 the opportunity to explore STEM through building, coding, experimenting and creating.
Designed for both beginners and children with previous robotics experience, the programme introduces students to robotics, coding, Artificial Intelligence and engineering concepts through practical, hands-on learning.
Students don't just learn how technology works , they get to build with it.
Through guided lessons, robotics challenges and creative projects, students develop problem-solving, computational thinking, collaboration and creative-thinking skills. They will build and program robots, experiment with mechanical systems and sensors, troubleshoot their designs and work towards a final project and showcase.
The programme is designed to build a strong foundation in STEM while giving students the practical experience and confidence they can continue developing as they progress toward more advanced robotics and potential competition opportunities.
No previous robotics experience is required.
