Good questions
The things parents ask us most. Something else on your mind? WhatsApp us, we reply fast.
Does my child need any coding experience?
No prior coding experience is needed. The Beginner track starts from scratch; the Intermediate track suits kids ready for text-based Arduino programming.
What ages are the tracks for?
Beginner is for ages 9–12 (MatrixBlock platform). Intermediate is for ages 13–16 (Arduino platform).
How long is the program?
Each track runs 3 lessons in total, once a week, with 2-hour classes. Start dates: 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20 December 2026.
Does my child need to bring anything?
No. Devices and robot kits are provided for in-class usage. Just turn up ready to build.
How big are the classes?
We keep a low student-to-teacher ratio of 1:5.
Is there a deposit or registration fee?
No. No deposit or application fee is payable for December 2026 Workshop enrolment. Fees are billed and payable in full before the first lesson.
What if we need to reschedule a session?
One reschedule is allowed per workshop. Requests must be in writing: more than 50 hours before the session starts, you get a full refund of that session; less than 50 hours, the session is not refundable. Read the full Terms & Conditions →
