🤖 A program by OYLA — the award-winning science magazine

A robotics program your teachers can actually deliver

A structured, hands-on robotics curriculum for students aged 4 and up — from preschool through to upper primary. We provide the lesson plans and train your staff, so your school can offer robotics without building anything from scratch.

The challenge

Bringing robotics into school is harder than it looks

  • Your teachers aren't trained in robotics — and hiring a specialist isn't realistic.
  • Building an age-appropriate curriculum from scratch takes time nobody has.
  • You need a clear progression with real learning outcomes, not one-off workshops.
  • Parents expect STEM and digital skills — and they're already asking.

The solution

A robotics program, ready for your classroom

OYLA Robotics gives your school the method, the training and the brand — your teachers simply deliver the lessons.

📚

The full curriculum

A 4-level ladder of ~150 lessons, each planned in detail. Minimal preparation — your teacher opens the lesson and teaches it.

🎓

Teacher training

Professional development for your existing staff — online or in person. No robotics specialist required.

📈

A real progression

Connected development of engineering thinking, algorithms and problem-solving — not disconnected clubs.

🗓️

Club or timetable

Run it as an after-school club or build it into your curriculum as a module — whatever fits your school.

🧱

Hands-on, screen-free

Real LEGO, built by hand — in line with your school's values and with what OYLA stands for.

🏅

The OYLA brand

A science magazine already read in 1,500+ schools worldwide — a name your community already trusts.

Why start early

Robotics from age 4 — not age 8

Most robotics programs begin at 8+. We start at 4 — preschool age — and carry students upward for years through one connected system, all the way to advanced EV3 robots in upper primary.

That's a genuine developmental progression your school can stand behind — children build on what they learned the year before, instead of starting over.

The curriculum

One ladder, from preschool to upper primary

A connected pathway your students can follow for years — each level builds on the last.

ages 7–8

Mechanics and the first algorithms — motors, sensors and linear logic.

Child coding with Scratch
Level 3

WeDo 2.0 + Scratch

ages 8–9

Robotic systems and real coding — students program their builds in Scratch.

Child building an EV3 robot
Level 4

LEGO Mindstorms EV3
