Coding & Robotics Classes in Aintree
Structured STEM programs that bring the Digital Technologies curriculum to life.
Robotics and coding for Aintree kids
Aintree is one of the fastest-growing family suburbs in Melbourne’s north-west, and we hear the same thing from parents across Woodlea and the surrounding estates: kids love technology, but parents want that screen time to be constructive. That’s exactly what ThinkerLab classes are built for.
In our sessions, kids aged 6–14 build real robots, code them to move, sense and make decisions, and design their own games — learning to think in steps, test ideas and improve them. Classes are small-group, hands-on and led by WWCC-cleared educators, with every session mapped to the Victorian Digital Technologies curriculum.
