What’s included in a ThinkerLab partnership
A ThinkerLab partnership is a complete operating system for running robotics, coding, AI and game design programs for primary-aged kids — the same programs we run every week in Caroline Springs, Melton and across Melbourne’s north-west. You bring the community energy; we bring everything else.
Curriculum & lesson plans
Term-by-term robotics, coding, AI-literacy and game design programs for ages 5–13, with educator run sheets, slides and assessment rubrics — updated every term.
Hardware guidance
A tested kit list (robotics kits, iPads, laptops and accessories), preferred-supplier pricing, and setup guides so your studio is class-ready from day one.
Educator training
Structured onboarding plus ongoing coaching on classroom management, growth-mindset language, and how to run calm, focused sessions parents notice.
Marketing & enrolment engine
Local-area marketing templates, a suburb landing page on thinkerlab.com.au, seasonal campaign calendars, and help with school, OSHC and Scouts partnerships.
