Coding & Robotics Weekend Program

Curious kids ask great questions, and we’re here to help turn their curiosity into real skills through coding,
robotics, and hands-on problem-solving.

Over the course of 15 weeks, students explore exciting topics like 3D modeling and design, robotics with LEGO
and VEX, coding with Minecraft Modding, AI with Machine Learning, and more. They experiment, troubleshoot,
and tackle real-world challenges, developing both technical and critical thinking skills.

Designed for different age groups, our hands-on activities and engaging projects ignite curiosity, foster analytical
thinking, and inspire innovation from an early age.
Whether they’re building a robot, designing a game, preparing for a competition, or exploring AI, students develop
the confidence to tackle new ideas, think logically, and persist through challenges with a problem-solving mindset.

Timetable
Our weekend courses follow a two-season calendar, each spanning 15 weeks. This structure allows enough time to
explore each topic in depth, ensuring students get the most out of every class.

Venue
Our weekend courses are offered at the German Embassy School (DSP) and the International School of Beijing
(ISB).

Class Duration
Our coding and robotics classes run for 1.5 hours, while competition modules are scheduled for 2 hours to allow
for extended teamwork and problem-solving.

Language of Instruction
Our courses are primarily taught in English, but we also offer bilingual programs for selected modules. This
approach provides more ways for students to learn and engage, and we’re happy to support them in multiple
languages.

Competition Opportunities
Beyond coding and robotics classes, we provide opportunities to participate in robotics competitions. Students
eager to be part of a team can join FIRST LEGO League and VEX competitions—a great way to challenge
themselves, collaborate with others, and showcase their skills on a bigger stage.
