Service Description
In this hands-on course, students explore the exciting world of Robotics and Electronics by building and programming their own working devices. Designed for learners aged 10–18, this course blends creativity, problem-solving, and real-world engineering skills using accessible, age-appropriate hardware and software tools.
Using popular platforms like Arduino, micro:bit, and Raspberry Pi, students dive into core electronics and coding concepts. They learn to connect circuits, power components, and write programs that respond to sensor input—bringing their inventions to life.
Learners build projects such as motion-detecting alarms, light-activated switches, line-following or obstacle-avoiding robots, step counters and wearable tech, and programmable LED displays and sound modules.
Through these builds, they explore key STEM topics including input/output control, loops, logic gates, and conditional programming, voltage, resistance, and basic circuit theory, environmental sensors (temperature, motion, light), and servos, motors, and automation control.
As students progress, they move from pre-set tasks to designing their own projects—solving problems through trial and error, teamwork, and guided exploration. Our experienced tutors help them develop not just technical skills but also confidence, perseverance, and creative thinking.
This course also introduces the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) and encourages students to consider how embedded technology is shaping our homes, cities, and workplaces. For more advanced students, we offer optional pathways into Python scripting on Raspberry Pi or robotic control systems using AI.
No prior knowledge is required—just curiosity and a desire to learn how everyday electronics power the world around us. Students leave with practical knowledge they can build on for careers in engineering, tech, automation, or design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is the Robotics & Electronics course for?
Ages 10-18, blending creativity, problem-solving and real-world engineering skills using age-appropriate hardware and software tools.
Does my child need electronics experience to join?
No - the course is designed to introduce robotics and electronics from the ground up, building working devices step by step rather than assuming prior knowledge.
What hardware and tools does the course use?
Popular, real-world platforms including Arduino, micro:bit and Raspberry Pi - students build circuits, write code, and work with sensors and actuators to create their own working robotics projects.
How much does the Robotics & Electronics course cost?
Group classes are £20 per 1-hour session. For 1-to-1 coding lessons, contact us for pricing and availability.
Is this course more about coding or about hardware?
Both - it combines hands-on engineering with real-world coding logic and design, so students get practical experience building physical devices as well as programming them.
