Junior Robotics
Start with gears, build your first robot, and discover how AI thinks — all through hands-on play and real projects.
How Junior Robotics Progresses
This pathway follows the early Sparklebots foundation sequence so students move from hands-on mechanics into visual coding before stepping up to more advanced robotics tracks later.
RoboCHAMP
The foundation course for young learners. Students explore simple machines, structural assembly, gears, pulleys, balance, and mechanical creativity through a non-programmable robotics kit. This is where engineering intuition begins.
Scratch Programming
Students then learn visual block coding through animations, stories, and games. It introduces loops, events, variables, conditions, and logical problem-solving before they ever touch text-based programming.
Advanced RoboCHAMP
After basic RoboCHAMP, students move into motorized mechanical systems. They begin building more complex motion-driven robots, learn drive mechanisms, and take on teamwork and design challenges that bridge them toward programmable robotics.
Ready for Track B Progression
Once students are confident with RoboCHAMP and Scratch-style logic, they are ready to move into the next pathway where programmable robotics, electronics, sensors, mobile control, and more advanced robot builds begin in earnest.
What Students Build in Track A
The junior path is highly hands-on. Students continuously build named mechanical models and develop an intuitive feel for structure, movement, balance, and creative engineering.
Mechanical Builds
- Rider, Windmill, Speedster, Fanbot and Roller Bike.
- Sycon Car, 4 Wheel Drive, Roto Racer and F1 Car.
- Tractor, Crane, Bike and Humanoid.
What Junior Learners Gain
- Understanding of gears, levers, pulleys, wheels, axles and linkages.
- Confidence in assembling structures and troubleshooting model stability.
- Visual coding logic through Scratch-based stories, loops, conditions and events.
What You'll Learn
A progressive curriculum that builds real engineering intuition from day one.
Gears & Mechanisms
FoundationUnderstand how gears, levers, pulleys, and linkages work together. Learn the mechanical principles behind every robot through hands-on assembly and experimentation.
AI Basics
IntelligenceDiscover how artificial intelligence works at a fundamental level. Explore how machines see, hear, and make decisions — explained through fun activities and visual experiments kids can relate to.
Robochamp — Your First Robot
BuildBuild your very first working robot using plug-and-play components. Robochamp teaches assembly, wiring, and basic control — the thrill of seeing something you built come alive.
10+ Robot Models
MasteryGo beyond your first robot and build over 10 different models — each progressively more complex. From line followers to obstacle avoiders, every model teaches a new engineering concept.
