Who we work with
Beginners to advanced learners
We cater to a wide range of North Shore students. If your child has never touched a robot or written a line of code, we have a foundations pathway designed for exactly that starting point. If they are already building independently and want a serious challenge, our FTC competition pathway may be the right fit.
- Complete beginners aged 10+
- Students wanting real coding (Python, Java)
- Competitive robotics pathway (FTC)
- Holiday programme participants
