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. Included in all monthly prices: learning materials, software licenses, platform access, teacher support, progress reports, final presentation. No hidden fees.

Are the courses online or in person?

We offer both in-person teaching and online courses. In-person locations: - Mitte (An der Kolonnade 11) - Prenzlauer Berg (Prenzlauer Allee 186) - GLS Campus (for camps & selected groups)

LEGO Robotics, Computer Science & AI (Grades 4–6) in Berlin

As AI becomes part of everyday life, children must learn not only to use technology but to reason about how systems make decisions. This course combines robotics, code and data so students learn to plan, test, debug and improve solutions while working collaboratively on meaningful challenges.

What your child will learn

Plan solutions with pseudocode and computational thinking
Build event-driven programs with loops and conditions
Use variables and data to control robotic behaviour
Train, test and reflect on a simple AI classifier
Debug collaboratively and present a complete project

Course content

Module 1. Foundations & Pseudocode

Explore hardware and the Coding Canvas, decompose problems into manageable parts, plan solutions with pseudocode, and build, test and improve systematically.

Module 2. Events & Interactive Systems

Trigger actions from events, program motors and the colour sensor, create responsive robotic models, and debug event-driven programs.

Module 3. Loops

Repeat sequences efficiently, use nested and repeat-until loops, optimise code and movement, and create precise robotic patterns.

Module 4. Conditions

Apply true/false decision logic, combine sensor input with conditions, program alternative outcomes, and test edge cases and reliability.

Module 5. Variables & Data

Store, retrieve and change values, create counters, scores and measurements, use data to control behaviour, and interpret and explain program results.

Module 6. AI & Data

Use pre-trained AI classifiers, create and train a classifier, test accuracy and improve examples, and design an interactive AI project.

Learning environment

Age: For children in German grades 4 to 6 (roughly ages 9 to 12).
