Is this course suitable for my child’s age? What if they have no previous experience? Will they join a new or existing group?

Yes! We place children by age and experience level: - Visual Programming (VP): Ages 7–11 - Python: Ages 12–16 - Robotics & Game Design: Mixed ages, grouped by skill Most children start with no prior experience — our curriculum begins with beginner-friendly lessons. Depending on your preferred schedule, your child can join either a new group (starting from lesson 1) or an existing group. To ensure the right placement, we always offer a free trial lesson.

Is 90 minutes too long for younger children? Can parents stay during the lesson?

The 90-minute format works very well because it incorporates short breaks, hands-on tasks, and interactive activities that keep children engaged. Children concentrate better without parents in the room, but you are welcome to arrive a little early — we will happily show you the project built during the day.

What language is used for instruction?

All regular courses are taught in German, and all instructors also speak English. If your child needs support in English, we are very happy to assist.

Can my child switch from Visual Programming to Python?

Yes — children can switch from Visual Programming to Python as soon as they are ready. Parents receive weekly updates, progress reports, and project files, which help determine the right transition point together with the teachers.

Can we start on a monthly basis? What happens if my child does not enjoy the course? Are sibling discounts available? What is included in the price?

We offer: - Monthly membership (flexible, cancel anytime) - Full package for the entire course (best price; can be paused for holidays) If your child does not enjoy the course, you can: - Try another course or day - Change locations - Cancel the monthly membership at any time - Start with a free trial lesson Sibling discounts: 10–15% depending on the course.

Daily schedule

Day 1

Robotics adventure with mBot Neo

Programming and robotics fundamentals with mBlock. Steer the robot, design a maze and navigate the robot safely through it. Explore built-in sensors and visualize sensor data on the color display.

Day 2

Sound & sensors robotics – mBot2, mBlock5

Advanced programming techniques to control the speaker and microphone. A program to play back and manage recorded sounds. Independent navigation and obstacle avoidance with ultrasonic sensors.

Day 3

Robotics tour bus – mBot2, sensor programming

The mBot2 becomes an interactive tour bus, using a color sensor to navigate landmarks in a virtual city. Gyroscope and accelerometer are used to adapt driving behavior to road inclines.

Day 4

Create your robotics game challenge

Multiple mBot2 robots communicate wirelessly and compete in a color-search game. Set up a WiFi connection and use voice recognition to program a robot waiter.

Day 5

Artificial intelligence for the robot pet

How artificial intelligence works with "Teachable Machine" in mBlock5. A virtual ecosystem where the mBot2 robot simulates different animals.
