One session, one robot. Your child builds it, programs it, then watches it move.

Start with 4 sessions, or take 8, 12, up to 16 — the number of sessions and the schedule follow your family's needs. Every session your child finishes one robot that really moves: from a motorised brick car to robots that follow a line, dodge obstacles, and take commands from a phone. The same robotics curriculum we have taught in Jakarta's partner schools since 2014.

Robot projects · Levels 1–6

Pick the robots your child wants to build. Not watching — building and programming.

Children learn mechanics, sensors, and programming logic through robots that are finished and moving within one session. From motorised bricks and gears, up to sensor robots with block coding, to microcontrollers, text code, and phone control. Every robot ends with a "test drive" and an engineering journal page they draw themselves.

And many more: obstacle-avoiding robot, six-legged walker, smart traffic light, door alarm… These are a few of the projects across six Robo Lab levels — one moving robot per session. At the final level your child designs their own robot for a school robotics competition or an IoT project at home.

Learning path

From kindergarten to high school: from motorised bricks to designing their own IoT robot.

Six levels, three robot platforms that grow with your child. Kindergarten and early primary start with bricks, motors, and gears that move straight away; older primary children move into sensor robots and block programming; middle and high schoolers build with microcontrollers, text code, and internet connectivity (IoT). Join at any level that suits your child's age — no need to start from the beginning, and you can stop whenever you like.

How to start

Three steps, no registration fee, no long contract.

STEP 1

Try it free first

Fill in the form and we'll message you on WhatsApp within one working hour to set up a trial class. Your child builds their first robot straight away — usually a motorised rover that drives in that same session.

STEP 2

Choose how to learn (custom class)

Private, with a teacher who comes to your home with a complete robot set, or online with a robot kit we ship ahead. Decide the number of sessions (from 4) and the schedule.

STEP 3

An engineering journal that fills up

Every session your child sketches the design and records the test-drive results in their journal. Every level ends with a report, a certificate, and a mini "robot demo" for the family.

The "it moves!" moments

Robots you can watch drive, grip, and think for themselves right in front of you.

For parents

Why hands-on robotics, and why now?

🤖Technology in their hands, not just on a screen

Children already know gadgets as spectators. At Robo Lab they become the makers: building, programming, and fixing until the robot moves.

📚Maths & physics become real

Gear ratios, speed, angles, and if-then logic are used straight away to make the robot move correctly — far easier to remember when they turn up in class.

⏱Results from the very first session

No waiting for months. One session, one moving robot — your child feels capable straight away and wants to build something smarter.

What grows beyond robotics

🔍Problem solving

Robot not moving? Find the cause — gear, cable, or code — then fix it.

📝Computational thinking

Breaking a big task into steps that can be programmed.

💡Creativity

At the final level, children design their own robot from scratch.

🎤Confidence

Demonstrating their robot to parents at the end of every level.

🤝Teamwork

Big robots are built in pairs — one builds, one programs, then swap.

🧘Patience & precision

One pin in the wrong hole and the robot leans. Robotics teaches care without feeling like it.

Transparent for parents

What you receive every session, not just at the end.

The same system we use in partner schools, now for your family.

📍Teacher check-in with location

For private classes, the teacher checks in by GPS on arrival and checks out when finished. You know exactly when it started and ended.

📷Photos & videos of the robot

Every session, the teacher uploads photos and a short video of the robot in motion — you can watch even from the office.

📝A short report per session

What concept was learned today, what was understood, what to revisit — written by the teacher, sent to your WhatsApp.

📓Your child's own engineering journal

A journal filled in every session: design sketch, program, test results. By the end of a level it is a little portfolio for competitions or school.

🎓Report card & certificate

At the end of a package your child receives a progress report and an official Light Education certificate, just like students at our partner schools.

🔁Sessions can be rescheduled

Something came up? Let us know a day ahead and the session is moved, not lost.

Child safety

The teacher who comes to your home is a school teacher, with certifications we can show you.

🎓 Teaching certification

Every Robo Lab teacher holds a teaching certification and teaches robotics daily at Light Education's partner schools.

🛡 Child Safeguarding

Every teacher is Child Safeguarding certified through TeachUp and bound by Light Education's written code of conduct.

⛑ First Aid & CPR

Every teacher is certified in HSI First Aid and CPR Training — ready to act should anything happen.

🔋 Low voltage, tools from us

Every robot runs on low-voltage batteries that are safe to touch; no mains electricity and no soldering in children's classes. Screwdrivers and small tools are used under the teacher's supervision; small parts are kept in a compartment box that goes home with the teacher.

Ways to learn

Custom class: you decide the format, the schedule, and the number of sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Before you ask on WhatsApp.

My child can't code yet — can they join?

Yes. Levels 1–2 use no code at all: children learn through bricks, motors, and gears. Programming comes in gradually from level 2 with colour blocks on a tablet (drag-and-drop), and text code is only introduced at level 5 for middle schoolers.

Are the robots safe for young children?

Yes. Every robot runs on low-voltage batteries; no mains electricity and no soldering in children's classes. Small parts for the early levels are large-sized and kept in a compartment box; no sharp tools are used.

My child is still in kindergarten — can they join?

Yes, from age 5. Level 1 is designed for K–Grade 1: big bricks, one motor, and a robot that drives within 20 minutes. Older children go straight into the level that suits them.

Do I have to buy a robot set?

No. For private classes the teacher brings a complete robot set every session. For online classes we ship a one-level kit to your home before class. Every level your child takes home two robots they built; full sets for independent learning can be bought separately if you wish.

How does an online robotics class work?

A one-level robot kit is shipped to your home before class. The teacher guides over a video call with the camera on the build, step by step; every child builds at the same time and programs on their own tablet/laptop. Parents just provide a table and a device for the video call.

Does this help with school?

Yes. Robotics uses maths (ratios, angles, speed), physics (forces, friction, energy), and the programming logic that appears in middle- and high-school Informatics. Levels 4–6 also prepare children for school and national robotics competitions.

Can I reschedule or stop partway?

Sessions can be moved with a day's notice. If you stop, remaining sessions can be transferred to another child or kept for up to 3 months.

Is the trial class really free?

Online with a kit: free, and we ship the trial kit. Private at home: a small charge for the teacher's transport, refunded if you continue to a package. No obligation after the trial.
