Robotics and Python Programming

Our offline classes are designed for children and teenagers aged 4 to 16.
Groups are divided by age and level:
4–6 years
7–10 years
11–16 years (or sometimes 11–12 and 13–16 years)
In camps, children of different ages may participate together. They are divided into teams with their own individual tasks and projects.

We try to form groups with a similar level of preparation. Even if at the beginning it is a little easier for some children and a little more challenging for others, in our experience within 1.5–2 months the group usually levels out and becomes a team, supporting and complementing one another.
For each child — from the very first meeting and throughout the program — we also look for an individual and unique approach, trying to find what will truly interest them, stay in their memory, and genuinely spark their curiosity.

Classes take place both indoors and outdoors.
Whenever possible, we try to spend as much time as possible in nature. This is especially valuable for children, as it allows them to release energy, reset mentally, and take short breaks when needed.
Some activities require a properly equipped indoor space — for example, parts of the theoretical lessons, robotics, or working with certain materials. In those cases, the class takes place indoors, and we will inform you of the location when you register.
Many activities — such as observations, experiments, games, and art sessions — take place outdoors in parks or on the beach, always in safe and carefully selected locations.
If the weather is плохая, we stay indoors for the entire session.

Group class: 40–50 minutes
Individual class: up to 90 minutes

You can attend the following classes with us:

• art classes (painting, drawing, and different materials),
• astronomy,
• chess,
• science: experiments and investigations,
• biology and biomodeling,
• robotics (including WeDo 2.0) and Python programming,
• mathematics.

The pass can be used for any of the offline formats unless otherwise specified in the course description.
During camps, we also run interdisciplinary courses and lectures that connect history, science, and art. We discuss topics such as economics, philosophy, history, geography, and many others. Children work on projects and participate in thematic workshops.

A typical class lasts 40–60 minutes. It usually includes:

• a short introduction to the topic,
• a practical part (an experiment, problem-solving, drawing, a project, or a game),
• a conclusion with reflection, additional theory, and questions from the children.

We alternate between calm and active types of activities so that children stay engaged and do not get tired.

We try to keep groups between 4 and 12 children.
This allows us to:

• give attention to each child,
• while still maintaining a sense of teamwork and lively interaction.

The pass is valid for a specific period (usually up to 1 month or 1.5 months).

We ask that you register in advance in order to:

• avoid overcrowding the groups,
• prepare materials for the appropriate number of children.

If you come without registering and there is space in the group, we will gladly include your child, but we cannot guarantee a spot without prior registration.

Our classes are not structured like formal “school-style” courses where everything follows a strictly linear program. We return to important topics many times, exploring them from different angles and in different formats — through games, projects, experiments, and problem-solving.
This approach gradually builds a strong foundation for the child. It is like assembling a complex puzzle about the world — made up of mathematics, science, creativity, and communication.
Because of this, it is not so important when a child joins. Each class has its own value:

• new knowledge,
• practical skills,
• ways of thinking, asking questions, and seeing connections.

If a child joins in the middle, they will not “miss” anything. They simply begin assembling their own puzzle from the piece that is available now. We help them integrate into the group and connect new pieces with what was explored earlier.

Yes, you can take a single class to see if the format suits your child.
After that, you can decide whether to purchase a pass for 5 or 20 classes, and the first session will be included in that pass.

Usually nothing is required except:

• comfortable clothing and shoes (some activities take place outdoors, and minor stains from paint, soil, or chalk are possible),
• a water bottle and an optional snack container (during longer sessions we always have snacks available for the children),
• a cap or hat in warm weather, and a sweater or light jacket in cooler weather.

All materials for the classes (paper, paints, equipment, construction sets, laptops/robots, etc.) are provided by us unless otherwise specified in the description of a particular course.

During the outdoor part of the class:

• children stay together with the teacher(s),
• the area is checked in advance and a safe location is selected,
• we do not go beyond the previously agreed area,
• for younger children there is a rule: always within the adult’s field of view.

If your child has a tendency toward risky behavior or there have been repeated situations where they got lost, please make sure to inform us in advance.
If the weather changes suddenly (rain, heat, strong wind), we return indoors.

During the outdoor part of the class:

• children stay together with the teacher(s);
• the area is checked in advance and we choose a safe location;
• we do not go beyond the previously agreed boundaries;
• for younger children there is a rule: they must always remain within an adult’s field of view.

If your child has a tendency toward risky behavior or there have been situations in the past when they got lost, please inform us in advance. This will help us better ensure their safety.

For younger children (ages 4–6), we sometimes allow a parent to be present during the first classes — by agreement with the teacher.
With older children, we usually ask parents to wait outside the classroom so that the child can more easily engage with the group and avoid distractions.

Payment is possible:

• online on the website (by card),
• via a payment link,
• sometimes in cash or by transfer (please confirm with the administrator).

After payment, we reserve a place in the group.

– What if I don’t know anyone in the group?
Almost everyone comes for the first time at some point. We play simple introduction games so that it’s easier for everyone to get to know each other. No one will be left alone.

– What if I can’t complete the task?
That’s okay. We are here to try. The teacher helps, gives hints, and shows different ways to approach the task. Making mistakes is part of the process, not something to be embarrassed about.

– Can I ask “silly” questions?
Yes. There are no “silly” questions here. Any question shows curiosity and thinking — and that’s exactly what we value.
