Our Programs
Three robotics and coding pathways for ages 4 to 16, taught in small hands-on classes across Koala Bytes' Sydney North Shore locations.
LEGO Junior
An exciting introduction to robotics and AI using LEGO SPIKE Essential kits. Young learners build fun projects that move, sense, and react — discovering the joy of programming through hands-on play. Robots don't just move, they start to "think" by recognising colours and objects.
What your child will learn
- Build and program a working robot from scratch
- Understand loops, conditions, and events
- Use sensors to make robots react to the world
- Develop logical thinking and creative problem-solving
Kit & tools
LEGO Senior
Advanced robotics and text-based programming using LEGO SPIKE Prime — the same kit used in the FIRST LEGO League global competition. Students transition from visual blocks to Python, explore machine learning concepts, and build complex robots that can sense, reason, and respond autonomously.
What your child will learn
- Transition from block coding to Python
- Build autonomous robots that reason and adapt
- Apply machine learning to physical hardware
- Develop competition-level engineering skills
Kit & tools
VEX IQ
Professional robotics using VEX IQ equipment — the same platform used in the world's largest student robotics competition. Students learn mechanical engineering design, structured programming, and competitive strategy. More rigorous and hardware-focused than LEGO, with a clear pathway to VEX V5 and national tournaments.
What your child will learn
- Design and build competition robots from scratch
- Program with VEXcode (block & Python)
- Understand mechanical design trade-offs
- Develop teamwork and competitive strategy
