🤖 Robotics — Basic · Year-end Exhibition

Robotics — Basic — your child's first real robot

The gateway program. From LEGO-style blocks for little hands to first lines of Python — your child builds, programs, and bonds with their first robot. Kits ship to your door worldwide. Bilingual classes.

📚 4 seasons ⏱ 110 hours/year 📦 Kit shipped worldwide 🎪 Year-end exhibition — your child demos their robot
Open enrollment — Autumn season starts soonFree 90-minute trial class for new students.
Robotics basic
Choose your child's age band — the kit and path adapt by age.

For under-10, the kit is LEGO-style — big colorful pieces, snap-together motors, no soldering, no sharp parts. Programming is block-based (Scratch-style). Pure play-based discovery, guided by a teacher.

One-year path — elementary track

Four play-based seasons.

🍂
Season 1 — Autumn

Meet your robot

24 class hours + 1 workshop

Unboxing day. First snap-together build. First "go forward" command.

❄️
Season 2 — Winter

Sensors — eyes & ears

24 class hours + 1 workshop

Adding sensors. The robot "sees" obstacles and reacts.

  • Touch sensor — robot reacts when bumped
  • Distance sensor — stop before walls
  • Color sensor — follow a colored path
  • If-this-then-that thinking

Diaspora alumni stories

From kit-in-a-box to RoboCup Junior

Arian's kit arrived in San Jose. Two years later, he flew back to Iran for Iran Open — and brought home a medal. The friendships he made with our students in Tehran, Berlin, and Toronto changed his life.

"My parents always worried I'd lose my Persian. In our robotics classes, I argued about PID tuning in two languages. Now my whole friend group is bilingual engineers."

🏅 Basic Robotics certificates

Common questions

What parents abroad ask us

How does the kit get to us?

We ship globally with tracked courier. Customs cleared by us where possible. Typical delivery: 7–14 days for US/Canada/EU/UK/AU.

What if a part breaks?

Free replacement during the year. Teachers are trained to debug parts remotely; we ship replacements promptly.

Does my child keep the robot?

Yes. The kit is theirs — to keep and continue tinkering with after the year ends.

Bilingual classes — how does it work?

Each class has English-primary and Persian-primary sections. Many families pick English with Persian explanations as needed. Choose per session.

Can my child join mid-year?

Yes. Each season has a 2-week onboarding window. We ship the kit immediately.
