Frequently asked Questions...
All children are required to wear appropriate. Children also like to bring their own bottle of water and a snack if desired.
Usually there is a minimum of 6 for a class to run and maximum is often 16, though in larger venues these numbers may change but we still aim for a 1:16 facilitator/student ratio by having an additional facilitator’s aide present.
One facilitator will conduct the class, and in larger sized groups a second facilitator or facilitator’s aide will also be involved.
The workshops are specifically designed for children and we encourage parents not to stay. We do however recognise some children need time to settle into a new environment, so are happy if parents want to stay for the first part of the workshop to ensure their little one feels secure. We also recognise that children with special needs may need extra support of their parent and we are happy to accommodate this.
In most of our venues the toilets are adjacent to the studio space – if they are further away we ensure that children are accompanied by the facilitator’s aide.
In classes over 2 hours a short break is set in the middle and children should bring a snack from home. In 2 hours or shorter children will naturally take time to have a drink, go to the toilet or simply pause to reflect on their robotic work.
The age definitions given for each workshop are guides only. We recognise that each child develops at a different rate and that a 11 year old child may have the skills required to complete a project in the 12-15 workshop. We find that a mix of ages usually works quite well in classes as they are small groups and everyone is getting individualised attention and working at their own pace. However some activities are better suited for specific ages – just ask and we can discuss your specific child’s suitability for a class.
