Which local schools do you serve in the Taylors Lakes area?▼

What makes ThinkerLab different from school-based coding clubs?▼
Unlike generic clubs, we maintain a strict 1:15 ratio and focus on the Victorian Digital Technologies curriculum. We emphasise grit and mechanical engineering—meaning students get a high-level academic challenge they won’t find in standard play-based programs.
Can we trial the program before committing to a term?▼
Yes! We offer two entry options: a free 35-minute trial held a month before term starts (perfect for meeting our teachers), and a paid 2-hour weekend taster during school holidays — a fun way to try robotics before the 9-week program.
