Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • We understand that sometimes children have to miss a lesson due to illness, a birthday, or other commitments.

    If you know in advance that your child is missing a lesson

    • In many cases, your child can join a different group within the same course period (for example, a different time slot or a Saturday ↔ Sunday group), depending on availability.

    • Please discuss this with the instructor in advance or contact us.

    If your child unexpectedly missed a lesson

    • No problem. Most children can simply rejoin the group the following lesson .

    • At the beginning of the lesson , the instructor can provide a brief recap of the most important parts of the missed lesson.

    If your child misses several lessons

    • If you've missed two or more lessons , we usually recommend that you simply finish the course and focus on the remaining lessons.

    • Depending on the situation, we can explore a suitable solution, such as the option to make up the missed session or a credit toward a future course.

    Do you have any questions about your situation? Feel free to discuss it with the instructor or contact us.

  • We’ve had a few children who were almost six, and even for them, the course turned out to be quite challenging. In our “ lessons ,” we use LEGO® robotics sets and teach programming with blocks on Apple iPads. Both are child-friendly, but still require some basic skills. In addition, the children work in pairs, which encourages collaboration. Our advice is to wait a little longer and try the course when your child is six years old or almost six.

  • The full course fee must be paid in advance upon registration. For children participating 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 refund the remaining amount, minus an administrative fee of €15.

    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.

  • We offer courses for children ages 6 to 12. Currently, our program is geared toward children ages 6–10 using LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential. We will soon be expanding our offerings to include “ lessons ” for children ages 10–12, in which we’ll be using LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime robotics sets.

  • No, there are no specific requirements. Our courses are designed for children of all levels, whether they are new to robotics and coding or already experienced.

  • Each course lasts 6–8 weeks, with weekly 90-minute lessons .

  • Children can build different types of robots, ranging from simple vehicles to more complex mechanical constructions, depending on their age and skill level. From simple merry-go-rounds and single-motor swings to more advanced minibuses and cabs with a color sensor, light matrix and even a gyroscope. Check out our Photos and Videos page on the website and our Instagram for more examples!

  • 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.

  • Please contact us by providing your child's age and desired day and time. We will do our best and possibly form another group if we receive similar requests.

  • lessons s are for children, but we also offer various workshops. Please contact us for more information.

  • We've just gotten started and hope to expand soon. If you'd like to have lessons in your city, please let us know and we'll add you to the waitlist .

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

  • The Advanced Level is for children who already have experience with LEGO® robotics, for example through previous “ lessons ” courses with us or elsewhere (other schools, courses, or clubs). Children who have completed our basic course can further expand their knowledge here.

  • In the beginner course, children use pictograms and icons for visual programming, so no special reading skills are required. In the advanced lessons , students begin with text-based visual programming (based on Scratch). Don’t worry if your child isn’t a strong reader yet! They only need to recognize simple phrases, such as “start motor” or “when the color is,” which most children aged 6 and up pick up easily.

  • We work exclusively with high-quality, original LEGO® SPIKE™ robotics sets and Apple iPads for programming. We provide all the necessary materials; you don't need to bring anything to the lesson.

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

  • We welcome all children, but we recommend thinking carefully first about whether the course is suitable for your child. Our teachers have no special training in guiding children with special needs, and the children work in pairs, which requires cooperation. It is important that a child feels comfortable in a social setting and is open to working with others, as is the case in regular school classes. If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact us to discuss whether the course is appropriate for your child.
