As the National Organizer of World Robot Olympiad for the UK (United Kingdom), RoboBrain also offers many Robotics courses. We have developed many fantastic Raspberry Pi courses that are unique in that they are able to get children as young as 7 programming with what is a complex device. For children younger than 7 we have some great BBC Micro:bit courses that introduce robotics and programming to young children in an incredibly fun and engaging way. 

We currently have four coding and computational thinking courses; Tiny Sovlers 6-7, Mini Coders 8-9, Junior Coders 10- 12 and Senior Coders 12+. Each course has a 6 level structure. Each level is 10 lessons. So at the normal pace of 1 lesson per week, it would take 10 weeks to complete 1 level. Each level builds upon concepts studied previously whilst introducing new and more complex ones.

Lessons take place online using Zoom https://zoom.us/ a video conferencing application, and are supplemented by the use of our online Learning Centre and Seesaw.

Lessons are 1 hour for 6 to 9 year olds (Tiny Solvers and Mini Coders) and 90 minutes for 10 years and over (Junior Coders and Senior Coders)

There are 4 to 6 students per class. Never more than 6.

RoboBrain takes customer support seriously. We provide multiple channels of communication for students and parents. We can provide homework answer sheets on request, many lessons often have recaps provided on our Learning Centre, so students can review what they have learnt in the previous lessons. Lesson Summary emails are also sent out after each lesson so that students and parents can keep track of topics being learnt.If there is anything your child is struggling with, they can always ask their teacher during lesson time as well!

Our students are challenged with creating many different projects as they progress through our courses. For example, during Mini Coders Level 2 (You can learn more about the Mini Coders course here) our students are faced with the project of building a mini dice game. For our Junior Coder students (You can learn more about the Junior Coders course here), they will learn how to create game with Pygame!

Junior Coders is for 10- to 12-year-old children and aims to turn young learners into advanced programmers. Whilst continuing to grow their problem-solving skills, they will focus more on the syntax of Python. By the end of this course, students will be able to program simple games and search engines. The first 3 levels of this course deep dives into the GCSE programming curriculum, making children ready for the A-Level Computer Science study.

Mini Coders for 8- to 10-year-old children is special as it combines block programming and Python. This is a course designed especially for this age group, to apply computational thinking to Python but not to overwhelm them with the complex of Python syntax. This course helps our learners to build confidence and solid foundation in programming in Python. Completion of this course covers all GCSE programming curriculum.

Senior Coders is for young learners, 12 years and older. Senior Coders is an ambitious Python course that fast tracks children through the knowledge matrix needed for this programming language. Once they have built up a certain amount of coding knowledge and experience, advanced coding skills such as Object Orientated Programming will be introduced. Projects are also designed to introduce children to do more Domain Specific Programming, starting from research and planning.

Tiny Solvers is a course that aims to enhance the problem solving and logical thinking of children aged 6 to 8 years old. It achieves this through transforming Computational Thinking concepts into ideas, images, and tasks that they can understand.

We can provide certification on completion of a course level and/or on the completion of an entire course.

RoboBrain Free Taster Lessons are not a strict evaluation. There would not be a formal test or a score provided during the Free Taster Lesson. However, during the lesson, the RoboBrain teacher could assess and suggest the appropriate RoboBrain level and course for your child.

You can book through visiting our website: https://www.robobrain.academy/ , click the ‘Free Taster Lesson’ button and fill out the proceeding forms. The booking times available will depend on the age of your child. You can also book a Free Taster Lesson through emailing us at contactus@robobrain.academy or by adding RoboBrain on WhatsApp (+44 7312 051 800) and one of our team will take of you.

Generally there is no need for a child to do more than one Free Taster Lesson. If there is a need, such as, we feel your child should also try out one of our other courses, then we will offer a second taster lesson. Unless, such a situation arises, each child will receive one Free Taster Lesson.

There is no guarantee that your Free Taster Lesson teacher will go on to teach your child during their course. It is very much dependent on availability, both the student’s and the teacher’s.

Your child will have the opportunity to learn and do sample exercises from our curriculum with one our fantastic teachers. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you have. Free Taster lessons last 30-45 minutes and take place on online via Zoom.

You will need a device, such as a tablet, laptop or desktop that is capable of using Zoom. Zoom is a video conferencing application, and where our lessons take place online. You can download it here: https://zoom.us/ or visit your app store. You will recieve the Zoom link and password for your Free Taster Lesson after booking.

Our Terms and Conditions can be found here: https://www.robobrain.academy/terms-conditions/

If your child cannot attend their course any longer due to a change in your circumstances, such as, due to a forced change in schedule, then we will do our best to provide an alternative class time and day.

If there is no viable solution to the change in circumstance, then we can remove your child from the course and your course credits will remain in your account so that you can use them in the future. A course refund cannot be provided.

Seesaw (https://web.seesaw.me/) is where our youngest students, Tiny Solvers for 6-8 year old children, do some activities during lesson time and do and sumbit their homework. It’s a great application for young children (available as an App on your tablet or phone too) as its very easy to use.

Our online Learning Centre (https://lms.robobrain.academy/) is where homework is assigned and submitted, and where you can keep track of the progress of your child during their time studying with RoboBrain. You will recieve your login details, in the lead up to your child’s first lesson.

Yes! Completion of our Mini Coders course covers all of the UK GCSE programming curriculum. From there, the first 3 levels of our Junior Coders course takes students beyond that of the UK GCSE programming curriculum, making our students more than ready for their A-Level Computer Science study.

Once our learners have built up their knowledge repository and confidence in coding, it becomes a tool for them to apply to different areas. Some may decide to continue further in the subject of computing, becoming Expert Coders, to go into Data Science, Cyber Security etc.  Some children may want to put the skills learnt in other areas, for instance Finance, Biochemistry, Engineering or Arts.

Yes, if your child is studying with RoboBrain and you successfully refer a new student to RoboBrain, the new student would receive 1 lesson free and you would be rewarded with a free credit for 1 lesson.

Yes, we provide a 5% discount to siblings who join RoboBrain together!
