Why RoboSZN?

RoboSZN is a coding and robotics club for kids in Grades R to 12 designed to develop future-ready skills through hands-on projects, competitions, and real-world challenges. With a unique gamified and season-based learning journeyβ€”SeedSZN to MakerSZNβ€”we teach coding, robotics, and an emphasis on AI in a fun, progressive, and accessible way.

Our Mission

To empower the next generation of innovators in Secunda and ultimately South Africa with coding, robotics, and AI skills.

Our Story

RoboSZN was created to fill a critical gap in communities like Secunda, where learners have passion, potential, and creativity, but limited access to future-focused tech education. We started with a simple idea: give kids the tools to code, build, and solve real problems while having fun and leveling up.

Our Core Values

  • πŸ€– Hands-On Learning – Kids learn by doing, not memorizing
  • 🧠 Real-World Relevance – AI, electronics, robotics
  • πŸš€ Gamified Progression – XP, badges, and rewards
  • 🎯 Inclusive & Encouraging – Especially for girls & first-time tech learners

Grade 8–12

R650/month

Tools Used: LEGO SPIKE kits, Scratch, TinkerCAD Circuits, TinkerCAD 3D Design, sensors, SPIKE Prime simulation.

Outcomes: Fully built robots, reaction-based machines, mini competitions, parent expo, badge tracker.

No prior experience needed. We will guide you from scratch.

This tier empowers young learners to go beyond drag-and-drop coding and start building real software.

Students learn Python, web development (HTML/CSS/JavaScript), and mobile app creation using tools like Replit and App Inventor.

The course is scaffolded to support beginners while also challenging advanced students with real-world projects. Each learner walks away with their own portfolio, ready to share with schools, competitions, or future opportunities.

Innovators+

Grade 8–12

R950/month

Tools Used: Arduino kits, LEGO SPIKE Prime, Python (Replit), App Inventor, HTML/CSS/JS, TinkerCAD.

Outcomes: Web apps, smart robotics, IoT projects, live demo day, project documentation, digital portfolio.

No prior experience needed. We will guide you from scratch.

Our most advanced offering is built for tomorrow’s engineers, coders, and tech entrepreneurs.

Young learners dive into full-stack development, robotics, IoT, and app design, all in one program. They learn Python, build smart devices using Arduino or LEGO SPIKE Prime, and simulate real-world systems through coding.

Ideal for ambitious high school students who want to push boundaries, solve real problems, and create something meaningful. Every student completes a capstone project and presents it at a live demo event, developing both technical and communication skills.
