Course Hands-on Robotics Skills for Young Learners

Discover robotics through practical building, programming and problem-solving. This course introduces how robot components, programming and sensors work together to create machines that can move, sense their surroundings and respond to instructions. The emphasis is on learning through experimentation, testing and improvement.

Designed for young learners aged 10–15 at beginner-to-intermediate level, including mixed-ability learners, the course requires no previous robotics or programming experience.

The approximately 15-hour, four-week course combines live online guidance with self-paced hands-on learning. During Weeks 1–2, you assemble and program your robot while developing practical movement, sensor and troubleshooting skills. In Week 3, you use your assembled robot to develop, test, improve and reflect on your own project, with online Q&A support. Week 4 concludes with an individual online demonstration, review and feedback session. A Certificate of Participation is available for learners who meet the participation requirements.
