1.What ages do your classes serve?
Our weekly classes welcome kids from age 5 to 14, grouped by age and level. Younger builders (ages 5–8) start in our Level 1–2 classes, while older students (ages 9–14) join Level 3+ and can progress all the way to competition teams (FLL & FTC). Our 3D Printing Pathway is open to kids 8+ — and adults too!
2.Does my child need any experience?
None at all! Most of our students have never touched a robot or a 3D printer before their first class. Every child starts with a free trial and assessment, and we place them at the level that fits their skills and confidence — not just their age.
3.How do your levels work?
Spark Techies uses a structured, self-paced pathway. Levels are aligned to school grade and cognitive readiness, but your child advances only when they’ve mastered their current skills — never by the calendar. Fast learners move up quickly; others take their time. Both are exactly right.
4.What if my child is ahead of — or behind — their age group?
That’s exactly what our placement assessment is for. Your child works on projects at their level while learning alongside peers their own age. If they need a boost, we offer optional one-on-one booster sessions to build core skills quickly. If they’re ahead, we fast-track them — including into our competition teams.
5.How big are the classes?
Small — 1:6 teacher-to-student ratio, so every child gets real hands-on time with the equipment and real attention from instructors.
6.What’s included in the price?
Everything. Robots, laptops, 3D printers, filament, and all project materials are included in your fee — nothing extra to buy, nothing to bring.
7.How does billing work?
Classes run on a simple monthly membership. If you prefer to pay lump sum, please reach out to our team.
8.What if my child misses a class?
Life happens! Give us at least 24 hours’ notice by phone or email, and we’ll arrange a make-up class (up to 2 per term). Make-ups are taken within your child’s own level, since each student’s journey builds on their last class. Classes missed without notice, or no-shows, can’t be credited.
9.Can we pause or cancel?
Yes, Just give us 30 days’ notice before your next billing date, and you’re free to pause or cancel. Unused prepaid tuition can also be converted to a family credit for camps, birthday parties, or siblings.
10.Are there competition opportunities?
Yes! Advanced students can join our FLL (FIRST LEGO League) and FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) teams — real international robotics competitions that look fantastic on school and scholarship applications.
