At your school
Classes run right at the partner school, after regular lessons — no extra commute.
Robonine Labs · After-school classes
A robotics class at your child’s school —
with a real robotic arm on the desk
Weekly after-school classes where kids assemble, calibrate and program a real 5-DOF robotic arm — then give it computer vision and teach it to move on its own. Run by Robonine engineers at partner schools.

What kids actually do
From a screwdriver to machine learning — on real hardware
This is not a toy-blocks club. Over the school year the class walks the same path a robotics engineer does — and every lesson ends with the robot doing something new on the desk.
-
01
Assemble & calibrate
Build the SO-ARM101 arm from parts, wire the servos and bring it to life.
-
02
Program in Python
Joint positions, trajectories, kinematics — the arm moves exactly as told.
-
03
Add computer vision
A camera and OpenCV: find an object by colour and shape, then pick it up.
-
04
Train a neural network
Record demonstrations and train a policy that repeats the task on its own — the same open-source stack (LeRobot) university labs use.
The format
After lessons, at school, in small groups
Small groups
Up to 12 students, one robotic arm per pair, an engineer-teacher leading the group.
Once a week
A 90-minute class every week through the school year.
Everything provided
Robots, software and the Robonine Lab platform — nothing to buy or install at home.
First class is a trial
Come, build, decide. Enrollment continues only if your child wants to come back.
Monthly payment
Pay month by month, stop any time. Exact pricing is announced per school at enrollment.
Who teaches
Engineers who build robots — and teach them
Robonine is a robotics laboratory: we design the arms, write the course and train the people who teach it.
-
Engineers first
The people in front of the class build and program robots themselves — questions get real answers, not a script.
-
Trained to teach kids
Every teacher goes through our onboarding for working with school groups and follows the same lesson plans.
-
A curriculum from the lab
The course is written by the Robonine team that designs the robots — and it gets better every cohort.
Robonine Lab
Parents see the progress, not just hear about it
Every student gets an account on Robonine Lab — our interactive course platform. Lessons, checkpoints and completed modules live there, so you can open it at home and see exactly what your child built this week.
Where we run
Schools with open enrollment
We open classes school by school, district by district. Apply at your school — or tell us where a class is missing.

Questions parents ask
Does my child need any experience?
No. The class starts with a screwdriver and mechanics; coding is introduced step by step in Python. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
Is it safe?
Yes — desk-scale, low-voltage hardware with low-torque servos and a software emergency stop. The very first lesson is a safety briefing, and an engineer-teacher is always in the room.
What if my child misses a class?
Every lesson lives on the Robonine Lab platform, so a missed class can be caught up at home — and the teacher helps close the gap at the next session.
Do we need to buy anything?
No. The robots and all equipment stay at school and are provided by us. At home you only need a browser to open Robonine Lab.
What does my child have at the end of the year?
A robot they assembled, calibrated and programmed themselves — plus working Python, computer-vision and robot-learning basics they can show, not just talk about.
My school isn’t on the list
Leave an application anyway and pick “My school isn’t listed”. We open new classes where parent demand is strongest — and we’ll contact your school ourselves.
