Year 1 is where 6–7-year-olds grow into confident builder-coders by moving through a full STEM lifecycle: "Ask, Imagine, Plan, Build, Code, Test, Improve and Share".

Each class blends LEGO® mechanics (both structural frames and moving parts), kid-friendly coding, and circuits so children can plan an idea, build it, and make it respond in the real world. We follow a “build first, then code” rhythm and keep coding in short, focused bursts, boosting attention and reducing frustration as kids translate a paper plan into a working program, add a loop or a wait, and proudly explain what changed.

Across the year, learners practice computational thinking (algorithms, loops, events, simple if, and systematic debugging), apply engineering design thinking to gears, linkages, and sturdy structures, and wire simple inputs → outputs with safe circuits to control light, sound, or motion. It’s a fun, hands-on after-school coding and robotics program in Toronto that builds real problem-solving skills and a maker mindset, so by spring, your child can describe their choices, improve a design based on feedback, and present a small project with confidence.
