The Robokids Lego®- Robot courses are offered in lessons along the school quarters, i.e. in the class time between vacations. The number of lessons depends on the number of school weeks. A course consists of several weekly lessons, which are booked as a block. It is possible to book a single lesson to get acquainted with the course, but there is always a charge for this. A later start is possible, subject to availability, and in this case only the lessons booked will be paid for. Lessons booked as a block must be paid in full regardless of the actual number of lessons attended.
Robokids Junior (4+)
In the course for our youngest, called Robokids Junior, we create a magical Lego world together and learn about simple mechanisms and simple robots. This course lasts 60 minutes (Robokids Junior ) and is ideal for children between 5 and 6 years old. For 7 year old’s the course is also good, but after a few lessons our young engineers need more time for challenging robots and want to move to 90 minute lessons. We also have Robokids Junior Grand (90 min) for special Lego robotics fans. I’m always impressed how gifted kids as young as 5 can concentrate as well as older kids and then suddenly switch to their play world and have so much fun with their creations. For such enthusiasts, 60 minutes may be too short.
