Build a rescue robot in your living room in Toronto, Berlin, or Los Angeles — then compete shoulder to shoulder with the best teams from Tehran. With 14 years of championship history and seats on the IranOpen and FIRA technical committees, Novin Zehn sends Iranian-heritage kids worldwide to IranOpen, RoboCup, and RCAP.
Your 8-year-old in San Diego learns the same robotics fundamentals as their cousins in Tehran — sensors, control, motion — and finishes the year competing in the IranOpen Junior division. First real robotics tournament, first taste of standing on an international stage.
Four seasons to build the foundation: meet the robot, master sensors, learn control, and step onto a competition floor.
Introduction to rescue robots, parts, and the first simple assembly. Your child learns what a robot is and how it moves.
Sensors come alive: light, distance, color. The robot "sees" and reacts on its own.
A real competition arena (junior version). The robot must find the path, detect the victim, and report the location.
Your child's first official competition — IranOpen Junior. They join either remotely or fly in to Tehran for the live finals, side by side with the best Iranian kids in the world.
Your 12-year-old gets a serious foundation in rescue robotics, learns the full competition rulebook, and ends the year competing in official IranOpen. Top teams are sent to RoboCup worldwide — a tournament that's hosted in a different country every year, often somewhere your family can actually drive to.
Four structured seasons: from fundamentals to standing on a real national competition floor.
Full robot anatomy, mechanical design, basic electronics, and the first control program.
Advanced sensors + smart algorithms for navigating a real competition arena.
Full standard arena + official team formation + strategy for national competitions.
Compete at official IranOpen. Top teams advance to RoboCup worldwide (held in a different country every year) and RCAP Asia.
By year's end, your 16-year-old in Vancouver is designing professional rescue robots with sensor fusion, basic SLAM, and advanced control algorithms. Goal: stand on the RoboCup Rescue and RCAP floors with Novin Zehn's flagship team. This is the same path that took Hanieh Yazdi from our classroom to a top Berlin tech company.
Four professional seasons. Goal: stand on the world and Asia-Pacific arenas.
Fast review of basics + advanced mechanical design (CAD), industrial motor and driver selection, custom chassis design.
Combine multiple sensors for reliable data + advanced PID, basic Kalman filter, and baseline mapping (SLAM).
Team strategy, in-arena risk management, preparation for the complex RoboCup and RCAP arenas. Final team rosters are locked.
Three of the world's most respected robotics arenas. Novin Zehn teams have flown the Iranian flag on these stages for over a decade. Years of experience and a seat on the technical committee mean real preparation, not guesswork.
Hanieh Yazdi spent 3 years in the Novin Zehn Rescue League. After graduating, she taught here for 2 years, mentoring the next generation. Today she works at one of the world's largest tech companies in Berlin.
"On her days off, she logs in from Berlin and still teaches our students online. That full circle — from student, to mentor, to a working engineer who keeps coming back — is the heart of what we do."
Class-by-class lesson plans, assessment methods, and details about international travel for tournaments are walked through in a free consultation call — at a time that works for your timezone (EST, PST, GMT, CET).
Yes. We ship the standard robot kit at the start of the year to families in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Full logistics are walked through in the consultation call.
Teams that advance from IranOpen are sent — coordinated by the academy and supported by sponsors — to RoboCup (worldwide) and RCAP (Asia). Travel logistics depend on the tournament and the family's location.
We hold seats on the technical committees of IranOpen and FIRA Cup, have organized the Virtual Asia Rescue competition, and have been producing national and international champions for years.
Yes. Season 1 of each age tier starts from zero. The only prerequisites are interest and curiosity. The first trial class is free.
For diaspora families, all theory and core classes are fully online (bilingual EN + FA). Practical bootcamp days and competition preparation can be attended either live in Tehran or via our remote-team workflow.
We run multiple class times per week to cover EST, PST, GMT, CET. All sessions are recorded for review or makeup.
