FAQ

1. What is STEAM education?
STEAM education integrates science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and art to teach students practical skills such as teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. Through hands-on, project-based learning, students engage in activities that simulate real-world challenges. They apply scientific principles, use technological tools, design engineering solutions, employ mathematical concepts, and incorporate artistic elements to innovate and solve problems.

For example, students might collaborate to design a sustainable city model, using engineering principles to plan infrastructure, applying mathematical calculations to optimize resource use, leveraging technology to simulate environmental impacts, and integrating artistic elements to enhance aesthetics and community engagement.

  1. Where are you based in London?

We are based in Central London, and our STEM programmes welcome children from across London and beyond.

We also work with students from different parts of the UK and internationally through our online programmes.

 

  1. Can robotics and coding support my child’s learning in physics?

Yes. In fact, we find that physics can be much more engaging for children when they can see how it works in a practical setting.

We incorporate physics concepts into our electronics, robotics and coding activities rather than teaching them completely separately.

For example, topics such as electricity, Ohm’s law, resistance and power calculations can be explored through practical electronics projects.

We have already covered several electronics topics with our students and will continue to bring these concepts into our coding and robotics sessions.

 

  1. Does every child work on the same project?

No. We don’t expect every child to follow exactly the same project.

We take into account each child’s age, previous experience, interests, confidence and current level when deciding what they should work on.

Children of the same age can have very different levels of experience. Our aim is to make sure each student is appropriately challenged while still enjoying the learning process.

 

  1. Can younger children take part in your workshops?

Yes. Some of our workshops are suitable for younger children too.

For younger participants, we recommend that a parent or responsible adult stays with them and takes part alongside them. This can be particularly helpful if the child is new to robotics or coding. 

  1. Can children who are very active or find it difficult to sit still take part in your workshops?

Yes. Our workshops are practical and hands-on. Children are encouraged to build, experiment, programme, test and solve problems, rather than sitting and listening for the whole session.

If a child needs additional support, we recommend that a parent or responsible adult stays with them during the workshop so we can make the experience as positive and comfortable as possible.

  1. My son is 12. We are looking for a serious long-term pathway in Python, AI, robotics and computer science, rather than just game coding. When would he move on to Python?

We don’t move students on to Python simply because of their age. We first look at their understanding, confidence and problem-solving ability.

Students usually begin by developing the fundamentals of programming, including algorithms, logic and problem-solving. Depending on their experience, this may involve block-based programming alongside electronics and robotics.

Once they have built a strong foundation, we gradually introduce Python. The timing is different for every student. Some students have moved towards Python after around 3–4 months, while for others it has taken 7–8 months.

We deliberately don’t rush this stage. We want students to feel confident when they begin working with text-based programming rather than becoming frustrated by it.

  1. Do you teach actual AI and machine learning, or mainly robotics?

We teach both robotics and AI. Our approach is practical. Students learn how programming, electronics, sensors and motors can work together to create intelligent systems.

As they progress, we introduce more advanced programming, particularly Python, together with the foundations they need to eventually move towards AI and machine learning.

The aim isn’t simply to teach students how to build a particular robot. We want them to understand how to design, programme, test and troubleshoot their own systems. 

  1. What level could my child realistically reach after 1–2 years?

This depends on the child’s starting point, commitment and progress, so there isn’t one fixed answer.

Our longer-term aim is for students to become confident programmers who can work in different programming environments, particularly Python, understand algorithms, write and debug their own code, and use programming to create increasingly complex projects and intelligent systems.

Some of our secondary-school students are already following this more advanced pathway and developing the technical skills and confidence that can support further study in Computer Science and related subjects.

  1. Can I see projects completed by your 12–14-year-old students?

Absolutely. We can show examples of projects involving robotics, electronics, programming and intelligent systems.

You can see examples of our students’ work and activities through our social media channels and website.

  1. What happens after my child becomes an advanced student?

Once a student is confident with the fundamentals, we move towards more independent problem-solving and increasingly complex projects.

We want students to be able to look at a problem, think about possible solutions, choose the appropriate components and programming approach, write and debug their code, and improve their system independently.

For students who become particularly advanced, we can go further into Python, more complex robotics, and the foundations of AI and machine learning.

 

  1. Do you have examples of 12-year-old students who have been learning with you for at least a year?

Yes. We have students who have been learning with us long-term, including secondary-school students who have progressed from the fundamentals into more advanced programming, robotics and electronics.

Every student’s journey is different, but we are always happy to explain how our longer-term pathway can develop based on a child’s current level and interests. 

  1. Where can I meet you and visit your centre?

 We run regular classes in Central London. We also run private and small-group classes at different locations, particularly around Camden and Primrose Hill.

For families who are not based in London, we also offer online coding, AI and robotics programmes for students in the UK and internationally.

If you’re not sure which option would be the right starting point for your child, get in touch with us. We’d be happy to hear about their current experience and interests and recommend a suitable starting point.
