About Us
Who We Are
Robo Genius is a specialized robotics and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education program designed for students aged 6-14. Using LEGO Spike Essential and Prime, we equip children with essential skills in programming, mechanical design, and problem-solving.
At Robo Genius, we go beyond teaching technology—we inspire creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking. Our curriculum includes:
✅ Hands-on robot building and engineering design
✅ Programming and algorithmic thinking (Python, Scratch)
✅ Real-world challenges, including FIRST LEGO League (FLL) competitions
Our goal is to help every child grow through hands-on learning, develop the confidence to innovate, and find their place in the ever-evolving world of technology.
Instructor Qualifications
Certified in Arduino Certification on Electronics and Physical Computing, with extensive hands-on experience in electronic engineering, physical computing, and robotics programming.
Certified in “Teaching Physical Computing with Raspberry Pi and Python”, specializing in Raspberry Pi, Python programming, and the teaching and practice of physical computing.
Certified by Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy, holding the authoritative Spike Prime Educator Training Certificate.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the LEGO Robotics Course?
Our LEGO Robotics course is a hands-on STEM education program designed for students aged 6-14. It combines LEGO building, sensors, motors, and coding using Scratch and Python, helping students develop problem-solving, teamwork, and programming skills.
2. Do students need prior experience in programming or robotics?
No prior experience is required. Our courses are structured for beginners and progress gradually, making it easy for students to get started. Advanced challenges are available for students with prior knowledge.
3. What hardware and software are used in the course?
- LEGO Spike Essential (for ages 6-9) and LEGO Spike Prime (for ages 9-14) kits, including motors, sensors, and LEGO bricks.
- Programming Platforms: We use LEGO’s Scratch-based visual programming for beginners and introduce Python for advanced learners.
4. How does this course help students learn STEM skills?
Students gain hands-on experience in engineering, programming, automation, and logical thinking through project-based learning (PBL). They build, code, and test their own robotic models, understanding real-world applications of STEM concepts.
5. How is the course structured?
- The course runs once a week, with each session lasting 1-1.5 hours.
- It consists of multiple learning modules with engaging themes like amusement park exploration, automation challenges, and robotics innovation.
- Students progress from basic builds to advanced robotic projects at their own pace.
6. Can my child participate in LEGO competitions?
Yes! Our course aligns with the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Challenge and FLL Explore competitions. Students develop the necessary skills to compete in robotics challenges and showcase their projects.
7. Will my child learn Python programming?
Yes. Younger students start with Scratch, a block-based programming language, while older students (9-14) are introduced to Python to enhance their coding proficiency.
8. How does the course improve teamwork and problem-solving skills?
Students work in small teams (4-5 students per class), where they collaborate on building, coding, and troubleshooting projects. This helps them develop teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills.
9. Who is this course suitable for?
The course is ideal for children aged 6-14 who are interested in robotics, coding, and engineering. It’s perfect for students looking for a fun and interactive way to explore STEM beyond traditional classroom learning.
10. How is student progress assessed?
Students are evaluated based on:
- Project completion and creativity
- Coding challenges and problem-solving ability
- Teamwork and presentation skills
At the end of the course, students showcase their final robotics projects to demonstrate what they have learned.
