About Robo Junior

Robo Junior is our gentle first-step for early learners. Through play-based building, storytelling and cooperative activities, kids get their first taste of shapes, mechanisms and structured problem-solving — all with the biggest bricks in our kit so little hands stay in control.

By the end of a term, students can:

  • Recognise basic mechanical parts (wheels, axles, gears)
  • Follow step-by-step build instructions independently
  • Cooperate in pairs and small groups
  • Develop fine-motor coordination and spatial reasoning

Enrol in the Home Program above, or if you'd rather learn in-centre, we run weekly term classes and holiday workshops too.

8-week term

The curriculum journey

A concept-driven progression — every week unlocks a new STEM idea, with the exact builds refreshed each term.

Week 1

Structures & balance

Meet the kit, sort by colour + shape, build the first working model.

Week 2

Wheels & axles

Roll into motion. How wheels turn on a fixed axle.

Week 3

Rotation & torque

Spinning motion, torque intuition, and symmetry.

Week 4

Simple linkages

Animals teach linkages and sequencing.

Week 5

Flight & symmetry

Wings, propellers and aerodynamic symmetry.

Week 6

Energy transfer

How wind becomes motion.

Week 7

Levers & grippers

Lift and release with a lever arm.

Week 8

System thinking

Team-build a large model and present to parents.

Curriculum evolves each term — example builds shown; your child's exact models rotate to keep every term fresh.
