Robotics & Engineering
Design and build robots, have a blast!
Robotics & Engineering for Kids (Ages 5–14)
Building the future, one robot at a time. Every child gets hands-on with RoboThink’s exclusive robotics kit—designing, building and testing robots with motors, gears and sensors. From first unboxing to advanced engineering, children learn real STEM the fun way.
Good to know: Robotics runs across after-school clubs and term-time courses. Coding & AI are taught on our dedicated pathway.
What your child actually builds
- Self-Driving Car: Build an electric car and code it to drive using sensors.
- Construction Machines: Design and test working machines for city challenges.
- Battle Robots: Engineer robust drivetrains and mechanisms, then compete safely.
- Space Adventures: Create rovers to complete real-world inspired missions.
Our themed programmes feature hundreds of different builds so learners keep progressing and never run out of ideas.
Skills for life (not just robotics)
- Problem-solving & critical thinking
- Creativity & innovation
- Collaboration & communication
- Project ownership and perseverance
Parents tell us they see gains in confidence and focus; our programmes are designed to nurture creativity, spatial awareness and a love of science.
Aligned with the UK. Built for the world.
- Supports England’s Computing and Design & Technology aims (KS1–KS3).
- Benchmarked with international frameworks (e.g., NGSS) for clear progression.
- Continuously updated with best practice in engineering, Python and applied AI as children advance.
The building blocks of engineering
- Learning Blocks: Click-fit parts = quick wins and strong spatial skills.
- Mechanical Engineering: Gears, axles and linkages for motion and strength.
- Electrical Engineering: Motors, power and sensors so robots can see, sense and react.
- Coding & Control: From block logic to programmable behaviours that make smarter builds.
With our NGSS-aligned STEAM curriculum and exclusive kit, children have a blast while learning real concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age groups do your programmes cater to?
Our programmes are designed for children aged 4 to 14, with age-appropriate activities and curriculum tracks:
• Ages 4–7: Junior Engineers – Hands-on learning with large blocks and beginner-friendly coding platforms.
• Ages 7–9: Engineers – Build simple machines, basic robotics, and develop logical thinking through themed challenges.
• Ages 9–14: Advanced Engineers – Dive deeper into real coding, complex robotics, and team-based STEM missions.
Children are grouped by age and confidence level so they feel challenged in the right way, while still having loads of fun.
Do my children need any prior experience with coding or robotics?
No experience is needed at all. RoboThink is built for beginners and progress-hungry kids alike. Every session starts with clear guidance, then children level up through building, testing, and improving their own creations.
What makes RoboThink different from other STEM clubs?
RoboThink is fully hands-on and project-based. Children do not just watch or copy. They build real robots, learn coding through play, and solve themed missions that make STEM feel exciting and meaningful. We focus on confidence, creativity, and problem-solving as much as technical skills.
What kinds of things will my child build or learn?
Your child will build themed robots, machines, and engineering models using RoboThink kits. They will learn:
• robotics and mechanical design
• coding and logical thinking
• teamwork and communication
• creative problem-solving
• confidence through trial-and-improve learning
Every build is tied to a story, challenge, or mission so it feels like an adventure, not a lesson.
What is a Learning Centre Membership?
A year-round, structured pathway in robotics, coding and game design. Students join weekly small-group sessions, start with Junior Engineer, then progress through Engineer, Advanced Engineering & Coding, Game Design, and beginner-friendly AI. We tailor pace and projects so beginners get quick wins and keen learners get stretch. Expect real robots, purposeful builds and visible progress—skills for life, not just for the classroom.
How do your Holiday Camps work?
Our Holiday Camps run in school breaks and feel like a robotics adventure. Students join age-grouped sessions, build fresh projects each day, explore new themes, and take on friendly team challenges. Book for a single day or make a week of it every session is hands-on and packed with action
How do I book a session?
Booking is quick and online. Choose your location and programmeme, select your dates, and complete payment through the booking page. You will receive a confirmation email straight away.
Can I book a free trial before committing?
Yes. We offer free trials at selected centres and times. Trials let your child experience a real RoboThink session before you commit. If you do not see a trial slot, contact your centre and we will help you find the next available option.
Are your instructors trained and DBS-checked?
Yes. Every instructor is trained in RoboThink STEM delivery, class leadership, safeguarding, and child engagement. All instructors are enhanced DBS-checked and chosen for their warmth and energy.
How big are class sizes?
Class sizes are kept small so each child gets proper support. This helps children stay engaged, confident, and able to complete builds with high quality.
Is there homework or assessments?
No formal homework. Learning happens through building and coding in-session. Instructors guide each child’s progress and encourage reflection, but the vibe stays fun and pressure-free.
How do you support children with SEN or learning differences?
We are inclusive by design. Instructors adapt pacing, instructions, and support style to fit the child. If your child has specific needs, tell us in advance so we can plan properly and make the experience excellent for them.
Do you run birthday parties or private workshops?
Yes. We offer RoboThink birthday parties and private STEM workshops. These include themed builds, guided challenges, and a high-energy instructor-led experience. Contact your centre to check availability and packages.
What is the cancellation or refund policy?
Policies vary by programmeme type and franchise. In general, we ask for atleast 30 day notice so we can offer your place to another child. If you need to cancel, contact your local centre and we will guide you through the options, including rescheduling or credit where applicable.
How can I become a RoboThink franchise owner?
You can register interest through our franchising enquiry form. A team member will then contact you to share the opportunity, investment details, training support, and next steps.
Who can I contact if I still have questions?
You can contact your local RoboThink centre directly through the website booking page or contact form. We will reply quickly and help you choose the best programmeme for your child.
