Robotics & Coding - After School Club
Welcome ..
BlokTec is all about teaching S.T.E.A.M.* skills to children & adults alike.
BlockTec uses 'real-world' educational toy robots to establish & reinforce engineering, technical & coding skills as we explore our world through stimulating themes & stories.
BlockTec provides a programmable, Lego-compatible robot to each of our students - yours to keep. This enables each student to research, explore, design and build their own robots in their own time and place - extending the learning experience well beyond the class environment. We believe the ability to explore, play and learn in your own time is crucial to gaining an in-depth knowledge and understanding.
