What it’s like
Weekend robotics classes where kids from 7 to 17 build real robots and pick up coding in JavaScript, C, Arduino and AI.
Building the robot is only half of it. The lessons here mix mBlock-based coding with actual hardware, so a seven-year-old might start on Scratch-style blocks while an older teenager who already codes goes straight into Arduino or AI projects. Everyone gets a robotics kit for the session and a laptop already set up, so there's nothing to buy or install beforehand.
Sessions run at weekends only, Saturday from 9.30am to 4.30pm and a shorter Sunday slot from 10am to 12.50pm. That Sunday window is tight if you're coming from across town, so Saturday's the one to go for if you want a proper stretch of building time rather than a rushed hour. A trial lesson is £19, which is a fair way to see whether your child actually wants to sit through the coding parts before you commit to a full course.
Lessons happen at Richmond and Hillcroft Adult Community College on Parkshot, not at a dedicated robotics centre, and there's free parking nearby at Old Deer Park. Ages run from 7 up to 17, so this covers a genuinely wide span, with the youngest starting on visual coding and the oldest tackling real programming languages alongside the robotics builds.

How much does it cost?
A trial lesson is £19. Full courses may have sibling or multi-course discounts if you get in touch with the school directly.
What age does my child need to be?
From 7 upwards, starting with Scratch-style block coding. Kids who already code can move straight into robotics projects regardless of age.
Do we need to bring a laptop or any equipment?
No. Each pupil gets a robotics kit for the lesson and a laptop with the software already set up.
Where exactly do lessons take place and is there parking?
Weekend lessons run at Richmond and Hillcroft Adult Community College on Parkshot, Richmond. There's free parking nearby at Old Deer Park.
Can we try it out before booking a full course?
There's a trial lesson for £19. You tell them your child's age and experience and they'll confirm a suitable session.
