Program Overview
What is Little Maker?
Little Maker is an early robotics and coding program for young children who are new to technology learning.
This program introduces children to robotics, basic coding and simple engineering concepts through hands-on activities. Instead of starting with complicated screens or difficult coding language, children learn through play, movement, building and guided exploration.
Using coding robots, motorized mechanical building blocks and LEGO WeDo, students begin to understand how instructions, sequencing, movement, motors and simple machines work.
Little Maker helps children build curiosity, confidence and early problem-solving skills while having fun with technology.

Why Start Early?
Why start robotics & coding at this age?
Young children learn best through play, movement and hands-on exploration. Robotics and coding activities can help them develop early thinking skills in a fun and meaningful way.
At age 4 to 5, children are naturally curious. Little Maker uses this curiosity to introduce early technology skills in a way that feels like play.
Builds Early Logical Thinking
Children learn that actions happen in sequence and instructions need to be arranged correctly.
Encourages Problem-Solving
Children learn to try again when something does not work.
Develops Creativity
Children build models, explore ideas and create their own simple projects.
Strengthens Focus and Patience
Children practise following steps, completing tasks and testing their work.
Builds Confidence with Technology
Children see technology as something they can create with, not just something they watch or consume.
Skills Children Develop
Skills your child will build.
Understanding simple instructions, sequence and direction.
Building, connecting, arranging and handling robotics parts.
Trying different ways to make a robot or model work.
Creating models and exploring how they move or function.
Following guided steps from start to finish.
Explaining what they built in simple words.
Feeling proud when their project works.
