After-School Club
Eight weeks of weekly sessions during term time - building from first principles to full robot challenges.
What to expect
Students come back each week and watch their robot evolve. Over eight sessions they build physical competence with components and motors, develop their coding skills from block-based to text, and end the term having competed in a mini challenge against their peers. It is the closest thing to a structured robotics curriculum outside a school.
Is this right for you?
- Students with no robotics or coding experience
- Young people who want a regular weekly commitment
- Ages 11–14 based in or near North London
- Students who want a structured progression, not just one-off sessions
What's included
- All robot kits and components provided
- Structured progression - beginner to challenge-ready
- Weekly code-along and build guide
- Mini competition in the final two weeks
- Certificate of completion
- Progress notes home each session
"My son came home from the first session already talking about motors and sensors. By week four he was explaining his code to me."

How a session works
Settle in and get your kit
Meet your group, grab your robot components and hear what today's challenge is about.
Build
Assemble the chassis, connect motors and wire up sensors - guided step by step.
Code and test
Write your first control programme, upload it and watch the robot move.
Debug and improve
When something does not work - figure out why. Adjust, re-test, improve. Repeat.
Challenge and celebrate
Head-to-head with other groups. Win or lose, you built something real today.
