WHAT STUDENTS LEARN

Scratch Game Development

Building logical thinking through visual programming

Students design and build simple games in Scratch, strengthening sequencing, logic and creative problem-solving before moving to text-based coding.

Arduino Basics & Coding Logic

Writing structured logic for real hardware

Students revisit Arduino fundamentals and begin writing more structured code, combining conditions and loops to control multiple components.

Sensor-Based Activities

Connecting inputs to meaningful outputs

Students work with ultrasonic, light and soil moisture sensors, learning how sensor data can trigger automated responses.

Mechanical Structure Building

Turning circuits into physical machines

Students build simple chassis and mechanical structures using motors and wheels, understanding how electronics translate into movement.

Beginner Robotics Concepts

From components to working robots

Students combine sensors, motors and code to build beginner robots that sense their environment and react automatically.

Creative Problem Solving

Testing, debugging and improving projects

Students troubleshoot wiring and logic issues independently, building confidence to test, iterate and improve their own projects.

Projects Included

Made by future innovators

Every student takes home models they built — and understood — themselves.
