STEAM for Schools

Robotics, coding and artificial intelligence, built into your school.

Hands-on science, technology, engineering, arts and maths (STEAM), in three stages that end with a lab your own teachers run.

Three stages

Start small. Grow into a lab of your own.

Each stage stands on its own. Start wherever suits your school.

    Stage 1: We come to your school

    Our mentors come to you: a talk or workshop for your ICT day, or weekly hands-on sessions in the school day or after it.

    • Talks and workshops for ICT days and STEAM weeks
    • Weekly sessions led by our mentors, with your teacher alongside
    • Project kits on loan, with nothing to buy up front
    • Progress, certificates and a showcase day for parents

    You provide: A room with a screen, computers, a teacher in charge and groups of up to 25.

  2. A whole class at work on computers under the RoboticGen sign at the Makerspace, with mentors among them

    Stage 2: Your students visit our Makerspace

    Bring a class for a one to two hour workshop with robots, electronics and 3D printers. Your leadership team gets to see a working lab too.

    • One free workshop a month, on weekday afternoons
    • Up to 20 students per visit
    • Mentors who guide in English, Sinhala and Tamil

    You provide: Transport, a teacher to supervise and a booking made in advance.

  3. Students at computers and robot kits in a fully equipped STEAM lab, with project shelves along the wall

    A long-term partnership

    Stage 3: Your own STEAM lab

    We help you build a lab on campus and train your own teachers to run it, with our curriculum, platform and kits behind them.

    • Help planning the layout, tools and equipment
    • Teacher training and certification at three levels
    • The full curriculum and an Obo Nexus licence
    • Kits with classroom bundles, and competition tracks

    You provide: The space, teachers to train and time for STEAM in the timetable.

Real students. Real builds.

From school ICT days to workshops and our Makerspace.

How students learn

Every project runs the same four steps.

Projects take two to four weeks, from idea to pitch.

  1. 1

    Get inspired

    A real problem, often tied to a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, gives the project a reason.

  2. 2

    Learn it

    Short lessons cover only the concepts and tools the build needs.

  3. 3

    Build it

    Students plan, design and build, then test and fix until it works.

  4. 4

    Pitch it

    They present what they made and why, to classmates, parents or judges.

Curriculum

One curriculum from age 5 to 16.

Mapped to the syllabi your school already teaches, so STEAM sessions reinforce computing, science and maths instead of competing with them.

Ages 5 to 7

Pre-STEAM

First steps in computing, building and design, through play

Aligned with Pearson Edexcel iPrimary and early-years frameworks

Ages 7 to 10

Starters

Computing, electronics, design and crafts, AI, robotics, code and games

Mapped to Pearson Edexcel, Cambridge and the Sri Lankan national syllabus for Grades 3 to 5

Ages 10 and up

Foundation

Programming, embedded systems, 3D design and digital media
