LEGO Robotics: Learn Through Play (6 - 8yrs) at Livingston - East Calder Partnership Centre, Livingston. Duration: 3 blocks per year (one block per school term) Skills Required: No previous experience required. Type of Coding: Beginner-friendly block-based coding. Reading & Writing Ability: Children should be able to follow visual building instructions and simple demonstrations. Strong reading and writing skills are not required for this course. This fun and engaging course introduces young learners to robotics, coding and engineering using LEGO and other compatible construction systems. Children will build moving models, explore motors, sensors and simple coding, create radio-controlled brick models, and develop interactive projects through hands-on play and experimentation. Alongside structured activities, learners are encouraged to use their imagination to design and build their own creations, developing creativity, problem-solving, teamwork and confidence with technology. As children grow in confidence and capability, typically from age 8 onwards, they may progress to our Robotics Explorers with micro:bit & 123Robot®. This provides a natural pathway into more advanced coding, robotics, artificial intelligence and physical computing projects. The course is delivered across three blocks, with one block running each school term, allowing learners to build their skills progressively throughout the year. In Term 3 (May or June 2027), learners will have the opportunity to create and showcase their projects at our Family Tech Day and participate in the 123Robot® Competition, celebrating their achievements with family and friends. Don’t Forget the Sibling Discount: Enjoy a 15% discount automatically applied to each additional child when siblings are booked together in the same order. Please note: Sibling discounts will not apply if bookings are made in separate orders. FINANCIAL SUPPORT As a social enterprise, we do our best to support talented and motivated young people who may not otherwise be able to afford our course fees.

Engineering & Innovation Club: 3D Design, Electronics, Coding & AI (9 - 18yrs) at Livingston - East Calder Partnership Centre, Livingston. Recommended Age: 9 + Duration: 3 blocks per year (one block per school term) Skills Required: Ability to follow instructions, and an interest in designing, building and creating. No previous coding, electronics or 3D design experience is required. Type of Coding: Block-based programming or MicroPython, depending on the project, hardware and learner's experience. Equipment: Learners must bring their own laptop and mouse. Overview This project-based course introduces learners to engineering design through hands-on challenges and real-world projects. Working in teams, learners will design, prototype and build interactive products using 3D design, 3D printing, electronics, physical computing, coding and AI tools. Throughout the year, they will develop creativity, problem-solving, teamwork and communication skills while contributing to longer-term group projects that are showcased at the end of the programme. Materials and Project Components All electronics, components and materials required during workshop sessions are provided by First Step Robotics. Learners may be given the opportunity to keep completed projects. Where this is possible, parents or guardians will be asked to cover the cost of components, materials and manufacturing. Learners may showcase their work and contributions as part of their personal portfolio. Important Information 3D printing is a shared resource and print times can vary significantly depending on the size and complexity of a model. It may not be possible to print every learner's design during the same session, and larger projects may require multiple printing sessions. Don’t Forget the Sibling Discount: Enjoy a 15% discount automatically applied to each additional child when siblings are booked together in the same order. Please note: Sibling discounts will not apply if bookings are made in separate orders.
