If your child’s school has said that AI is coming to the timetable, you may have wondered who is actually going to teach it. Many schools don’t have a computer science specialist, and most coding tools only cover a few school years before children have to start again somewhere new.
That’s the gap Bloqi is built to close. On 17 September 2026, iCodejr announced Bloqi, a platform that lets schools teach coding, AI and robotics in one place, in English and Arabic, from the early years to the end of school.

One platform from the first block to real AI
Most schools piece together three or four different products as children grow: one app for the youngest, another for older pupils, a separate robotics kit and something else again for AI. Bloqi replaces that patchwork with four connected spaces that all run on the same engine:
- Early-years block coding. The youngest children start with picture blocks, before they can read much.
- A visual Block IDE. In the middle years, children move on to full block-based coding and visual programming.
- An AI and machine learning sandbox. Older students collect data, train their own models and test how well they work.
- Robotics in the browser. Children program Spark, iCodejr’s own robotics kit, straight from the browser, with nothing extra to install.
Because the four spaces share one engine and one student account, children don’t lose their progress or have to learn a new system each time they move up.
Built in Arabic, not translated into it
For many UAE families, this is the part that matters most. Arabic is part of Bloqi from the ground up, alongside English, rather than a translation added at the end. Children can learn in the language they think in, and Arabic-medium schools get the same tools as everyone else.
Building AI, not just chatting to it
The UAE has announced plans to teach AI as a subject from KG to Grade 12. Bloqi is aligned to that national AI curriculum, and its approach goes further than typing questions into a chatbot. Students build datasets, train models and test the results, so they see for themselves why an AI system makes the choices it does.
“Teaching a child to prompt a chatbot is not the same as teaching them AI. Students need the chance to build, test and question the technology. When they train a model themselves, they begin to understand the relationship between data, decisions and outcomes, including where bias and errors can enter the process.” — Hannan Moti, Founder and CEO, iCodejr
Made for teachers who aren't coders
Bloqi is designed so that a teacher without a computer science background can start teaching it quickly. Before launch, iCodejr tested it with children and teachers at a founding design partner school, checking the screens and the step-by-step learning path in real lessons.
“Schools know their students need to understand AI, but many do not have a computer science specialist or the confidence that a tool they buy today will still meet their needs in three years. Bloqi gives them one system that can grow with the student and is designed so that a non-specialist teacher can begin delivering lessons quickly.” — Hannan Moti
“Bloqi came out of classrooms, not a lab. Every design decision traces back to something that was not working for a child or teacher in a real lesson. Schools should not need to assemble several products simply to offer a coherent computing programme.” — Hannan Moti
Choosing a licence
Schools can choose a licence per student or a licence for the whole school, each priced differently. Bloqi runs in the browser, and it can be set up to run offline for schools that need it.

The launch was covered on 17 September 2026:
Bring Bloqi to your school
Bloqi is available to schools for the 2026–27 academic year. School leaders and teachers can see the platform and request information at bloqi.icodejr.com.
Parents, there’s something for you too. Children can code for free at bloqi.ai, Bloqi’s online coding space for students. If you’d like your child’s school to offer coding, AI and robotics, share this page with the school. And if you’d rather not wait, our live one-to-one online classes for children aged 5–18 cover the same skills at home.
