## SPARKLAB

# A 4-Year Hands-On Coding & Robotics Pathway for Ages 4 - 7

## Small classes. Real robots. Real builds.

### Right level, right pace: two tracks (4–5 and 6–7) avoid boredom or overwhelm.

Two age tracks: Ages 4–5 (screen-light) and Ages 6–7 (balanced screens)

SPARK replaces one-off classes with a clear pathway where kids learn to think like problem-solvers: plan steps (algorithms), look for patterns (loops), test ideas, and explain their fixes (debugging), tinker with circuits, understand structures, fore and energy, and build Robots with  LEGO: the core of computational thinking that benefits every subject.

## SPARKLAB  STEM JOURNEY & Programs

### Ages 4 - 5

Play-based exploration of patterns, sequences, and cause & effect. Students tinker, build confidence, and spark curiosity about how technology works.

### Ages 6 - 7

Extends foundational learning into simple coding, problem-solving, and early project creation. Builds readiness for the next stage.

## Common Across the SPARKLAB TRACK

### Class Format

30 weeks, 1 session/week, 75 minutes each. Small class (max 8)

Foundational  + Year 2 with each age track + Year-end STEM FESTIVAL

Core strands (spiraled all year):

- Computational skills
- Tangible Math
- Engineering & Circuits
- Lego Robotics
- Storytelling with Code
- Maker Product Development

### Padagogical Pillar

#### Foundational Computational Thinking:

- Play-Based Design Thinking
- Collaboration & Communication
- Confidence & Creativity

### CAPSTONE PROJECT YEAR-END STEM FESTIVAL
Students will complete a Capstone project based on their learning from the year. The project will be showcased in our Year End STEM FESTIVAL open to Parents and friends.

## TANGIBLE FOUNDATIONS

### Ages 4 - 5.

#### COMPUTATIONAL & MATH SKILLS
SIMPLE algorithms design and execution to understand sequences, patterns and solve multiple puzzle challenges.

#### LOGIC, LOOPS & DEBUG
When/then rules, repeat patterns and loops. simple timing: predict, run, explain. DEBUGGING habit: change one thing and re-test.

#### LEGO ENGINEERING & CIRCUITS
Engineering + Circuits: sturdy builds (wheels, gears, ramp, etc.). Circuit builds and test: switches, lights and sounds.

#### GRADUATE
Ready for Block-based coding in YEAR 3: Foundations in Motion.

## FOUNDATIONS IN MOTION

### Ages 6 - 7​

#### COMPUTATIONAL & MATH SKILLS
Block-based designing and exciting algorithms to decompose complex tasks, identify patterns, understand distances and degrees, code puzzles and mazes, and complete multiple challenges.

#### LOGIC, LOOPS & DEBUG
Loop events, simple if, data-lite state(start, reset, score). Debugging habit: change one thing and re-test.

#### LEGO ENGINEERING & CIRCUITS
Sensors + Lego mechanisms working together to solve every-day problems.

#### GRADUATE
Design & Presentation: iterate from feedback; Ready for IGNITE LAB JOURNEY.

### What makes SPARKLAB different?

#### Hands-on LEGO® Robotics
Our "BUILD - FIRST" Rhythm

- Thinking with hands: regular build then code cycles across the term grow spatial reasoning, fine motor control, and persistence.
- Code that maps to reality: step size, turns, loops, and events are tied to real movement kids can predict and describe.
- Understanding compounds: concepts resurface in new challenges, so learning deepens over time, not as a one-off activity.

#### Circuits & Electronics - A recurring strand
Why this matters: Electricity isn’t a one-day demo; we revisit it so kids trust what a signal does every time!

#### Engineering & Design  real mechanics & physics

#### Computational Thinking  "The thinking toolkit"

#### Maker & Entrepreneur Mindset
Why this matters: Kids see themselves as creators who improve the world around them.

#### Two age tracks. Tiny groups
Why this matters: Just the right level, just the right pace, with real attention.

## What Parents can Expect

## What parents can expect ?

- Joyful confidence: Your child feels proud to show what they built and can tell you how it works in simple language.
- Early problem-solving: They learn to try, fix, and try again—building patience and resilience without tears.
- Foundational thinking: Gentle exposure to patterns, sequencing, and cause-and-effect through play.
- Hands-on creativity: Storytelling + LEGO® builds spark imagination and curiosity about how things move and work.
- Positive habits: Turn-taking, sharing ideas, and celebrating effort as much as outcomes.
