Intermediate Lego Robotics: SHMC

By Beyond Blocks

For confident builders aged 9+, these 90-minute sessions will push your child’s building, programming, and teamwork skills to new heights with complex LEGO Robotics challenges. Held fortnightly, each session sets a unique problem for children to solve in pairs. Using kits like Boost, EV3, and Spike Prime, they’ll design, build, and program robots to create effective solutions. The extended 90-minute format allows for deeper engagement and more advanced challenges than our pre-intermediate level class. This course is for children with prior LEGO Robotics experience. Priority is given to those who’ve completed our Introduction to Robotics with LEGO course or have proven skills. Challenges demand an intermediate understanding of programming and construction techniques.

Introduction to Robotics with Lego: SHMC

By Beyond Blocks

Begin your Beyond Blocks journey with Introduction to Robotics with LEGO. These hands-on sessions are an introduction to robotics with a difference, where your child will build much more than robots. Along the way, we work on building your child's ability to work in teams, solve problems logically, communicate their ideas and tackle complex tasks creatively without giving up. Working in pairs, your child will learn the fundamentals of programming and engineering by building and coding robots to solve problems, becoming confident problem solvers while ‘just playing with LEGO’. They'll build a new model every week, which forms the basis of the challenges we set. Each pair then modifies their model, experimenting, adapting and coding their own unique solution. Suitable for ages 7+. Children aged 6 can attend with a parent or carer. Adults are welcome to join older children too, but are expected to take part alongside their child as a participant.

Innovation Lab (Invitation Only): SHMC

By Beyond Blocks

Innovation Lab is our invite-only programme for the most experienced members of the Beyond Blocks community. Students in this group have typically been building with us for three years or more and are ready to move beyond simply attending sessions. In Innovation Lab, students work alongside Beyond Blocks teachers and volunteers in multi-generational teams to design, prototype, and test the challenges that will later appear in our clubs. They will experiment with new robotics systems, explore ambitious engineering ideas, and learn how to guide others through complex problems. This is where experienced builders begin the journey from student to mentor. Innovation Lab members help shape the future of Beyond Blocks while developing the leadership, creativity, and technical skills needed to inspire the next generation of robot builders. Places are by invitation only.

Advanced Robotics & Competition Training: SHMC

By Beyond Blocks

This class is for students who are ready to apply everything they have learned so far in robotics. Students work together to design, build and program robots to solve more complex engineering challenges using competition-style mats and missions. The focus is on teamwork, creative problem solving and testing ideas, learning how to improve a robot through experimentation and iteration. The sessions are inspired by international robotics competitions such as FIRST LEGO League, World Robot Olympiad and VEX IQ Challenge. Students may have the opportunity to take part in competitions if they wish. Competition entry fees are paid separately. We currently use robotics systems such as LEGO EV3 and Spike Prime and will also introduce other robotics platforms used in competitions.

Pre-intermediate Lego Robotics: SHMC

By Beyond Blocks

Our Pre-Intermediate LEGO Robotics course is designed for children aged 8+ with basic robotics experience gained from completing at least a year of our Introductory course. It bridges the gap between block programming and Scratch, offering a more powerful programming experience. Using familiar kits like WeDo 2.0, students build LEGO models and program them with Scratch, preparing for more advanced classes. This course suits students transitioning from introductory sessions or those with Scratch experience eager to explore LEGO robotics. As the course progresses, students tackle increasingly complex challenges, building models that solve intricate problems while continuing the fun and creativity of earlier sessions. Please note the lower age limit is strict as this class is challenging and bookings made for children below the age range will be refunded minus a booking fee. However, for older children who have never encountered LEGO Robotics this is the ideal starting point
