Study Programme
Year 1
In this module, students learn the basics of robotics. Children learn to control and program robots, learn what they are made of, and how they work. Students interact with Dash&Dot - real robots that teach children to program in a game form.
- Programming of robots
- Improving knowledge of robot operation
- Study of the basic concepts of programming (cycles, iterations, conditions, etc.)
- Bonus: Teamwork
Scratch Jr is a tool that allows to teach children the basic skills of programming, as well as creative thinking and systematic reasoning, even if they can not read.
- Creating personalized games on Scratch Junior
- Applying the laws of mathematics and physics in games
- Learning animation
- Character development
- Bonus: Basic programming (variables, cycles, logical sequences)
In this module, children will immerse themselves in an exciting world of construction and creativity using the famous Lego building blocks.
Children will learn to build and construct with the help of Lego components, as well as basic programming. Our experienced instructors will help children unlock their creative potential and teach them the basics of engineering through play and entertainment. Each lesson will be filled with new challenges, projects and fun activities that will stimulate the imagination and develop programming and engineering skills.

Year 2
We learn to let go of fantasy and, with the help of web tool Tinkercad, create 3D model of our own universe with its unique inhabitants.
Hard skills:
Ability to work with the Tinkercad platform, create 3D model of any object.
Soft skills:
The development of fantasy, the volume of thinking without a frame, the opening of creative potential, the passage of confidence and ability to go from idea to result.

We learn to program our projects, games, animations on the computer. We take the idea, make a plan for creating the game/application/robots, implement it and present it to the kids.
Hard skills:
Ability to work with the Tynker platform, write plans for creating projects, gradually implement them until the final result.
Soft skills:
Development of acting skills and performance in public, ability to protect and present your project, confidence passing, teamwork skill, development of creative and logical thinking.
