Experience the world of robotics

At Brick&Robots, children dive into the fascinating world of modern technologies, where they not only learn to code, but also build their own robots.

Our LEGO robotics lessons challenge logical, systematic and spatial thinking while providing a creative and engaging experience.

Working with a variety of components, our approach promotes not only fine motor skills, but also the development of neural connections for a solid foundation in technology and creativity.

A unique learning path

At Brick&Robots, we are all about hands-on experience. We spend 80% of our time building and programming robots hands-on, with only 20% focus on theoretical concepts.

For children, we use visual block-based coding, based on the Sketch programming language.

Each class offers new challenges and stimulates creativity, while teamwork is an integral part of our program.

Robotics offers your child comprehensive development!

With us, children work in pairs and develop invaluable teamwork skills. In practice, they learn not only how to set and distribute tasks, but also how to defend their positions, take responsibility and embrace mistakes as learning opportunities.

What do our classes look like?

Each lesson lasts 90 minutes and has three parts: theoretical knowledge, design and programming. The children work in teams to build a LEGO robot and write a program to bring it to life! Our curriculum is divided into 6-9 week courses for different age groups, with weekly classes and breaks during school vacations.

 Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

  • The entire course is paid in advance upon registration. For children attending for the first time, the first lesson can be considered a trial lesson. If you decide to cancel within 48 hours of this first lesson, we will withhold €70 (to cover the first lesson and administration fees) and refund the remaining amount within 10 business days.

    After this 48-hour period, the full course fee is non-refundable.

    Instead of refunds, you can also choose to use a voucher for a future course or transfer to one of our online programs.

    Important: This arrangement applies to new participants only. Children who have previously taken a course are not eligible for refunds or trial lessons in subsequent enrollments.

  • Our courses are taught in Dutch and English. Most classes are in Dutch, but we also offer full English tutoring. Children can participate in the language in which they feel most comfortable. Check out our available courses to see what languages, time slots and levels they are offered in.

  • We have had some children who were almost six, and even for them the course proved quite challenging. In our classes, we work with LEGO® robotics sets and teach programming with blocks on Apple iPads. Both are kid-friendly, but still require some basic skills. In addition, the children work in pairs, which encourages cooperation. Our advice is to wait a while and try the course when your child is six years old or almost six.

  • No worries! Our courses are suitable for beginners and we offer a step-by-step approach to familiarize children with the basics of robotics and coding.

  • We work exclusively with high-quality, original LEGO® SPIKE™ robotics kits and Apple iPads for programming. All necessary materials are provided by us, you do not need to bring anything to class.

  • In our course, children learn to program with visual blocks, such as icons and icons, which is ideal for beginners. In more advanced classes, we move to word-based visual programming, similar to Scratch. These methods help kids understand the basics of programming in a playful way, without having to read or write complicated code.
