A real robot at home, a real teacher on screen
Online robotics works when every child has their own robot and a teacher who can see every wire. Here is how it runs.
1 · Free first class
45–50 minutes on Zoom. The teacher finds your child's level and suggests where to start.
2 · Kit to your door
We deliver the robotics kit anywhere in the UAE. Your child starts with coding basics while it's on the way.
3 · Live 1-on-1 classes
50-minute classes (40 for KG), the same teacher every week, at times that suit your family.
4 · A certificate per module
Every finished module earns a certificate, and you see each project your child builds.
Hands-on robotics, at home
Robotics is better when children hold the parts, so every robotics student from age 7 gets a kit, and the kit grows with them. Your child starts with coding basics, so there is no waiting while it is delivered.
- Ages 7–10: our own micro:bit-based kit for circuits, sensors and small robots
- Ages 11–18: Arduino boards and sensors, programmed in C++, then IoT and moving robots
- Ages 5–6: no kit needed. RoboPlay runs on a tablet
- Charged at cost. Outside the UAE, we send a link to a suitable kit

Real projects, not worksheets
A few of the robots and smart devices children build in our robotics paths.
Ages 7–8 and up
Line-following robot
A small car that reads a black line with sensors and steers itself.
Ages 7–8
AI gesture controller
Wave a hand and the micro:bit recognises the gesture.
Ages 11–14
Robotic arm
Servos, an Arduino and C++ pick up and move small objects.
Ages 11–14

A distance sensor opens the lid when a hand comes close.
Ages 11–18
IoT smart garden
Soil sensors water the plant and send readings to a phone.
Ages 11–18
Emotion bot
A robot face that reacts to what it sees and hears.
Robotics classes near you, without the drive
Many families search for a robotics centre nearby. Live online classes reach every emirate, and here is how they compare.
| iCodejr online, 1-on-1 | Typical robotics centre | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting there | No travel: classes at home, anywhere in the UAE | A drive across town, often at rush hour |
| Teacher’s attention | One teacher, one child, every minute | Shared with a group |
| The robot | Your child’s own kit, kept at home | Centre kits, used in class only |
| Times | Mornings, evenings and weekends | Fixed weekly slots |
| Language | English or Arabic | Varies |
Robots built by UAE kids
“My son really enjoys robotics. Every time he gets something working, he gets so excited and calls everyone to see. It's wonderful watching him learn this way.”
“My son loves anything to do with robots, so this was a perfect fit. He gets so excited when he manages to make something move exactly the way he wants.”
Pay per class with credit packages
One credit is one live class, and credits work across all our programmes. The first class is free, the robotics kit is charged separately at cost, and scholarships of up to 50% are open to high achievers. See our prices guide for how packages work.
Prefer robotics at home in Dubai?
With iCodejr VIP, a senior instructor teaches your child robotics at home, from AED 250 an hour. Parents meet the teacher every month, and only 100 students are accepted each year.
Robotics and coding for whole classes with Bloqi for Schools, and hackathons for your students with Code Battle, our free inter-school hackathon.
Bloqi for Schools Host a hackathonRobotics classes: FAQs
Are robotics classes good for kids?
Yes, for most children. Robotics mixes building with coding, so children see their code move something real. Along the way they practise problem-solving, patience and fixing their own mistakes, and many find it more motivating than coding on screen alone.
What age can kids start robotics?
From 5, with robots on a tablet and no kit, in our KG-1 path. From about 7, children use a real kit to build circuits and small robots, and from 11 they move on to Arduino boards and C++.
Can kids really learn robotics online?
Yes. Each child has their own kit at home, and because classes are one-to-one, the teacher watches the screen and the camera the whole time and can spot a loose wire or a wrong block straight away. Our guide to how online robotics classes work explains more.
Do we need to buy a robotics kit?
From age 7, yes. We deliver our kit anywhere in the UAE and charge it at cost, and your child starts with coding basics while it is on the way. Outside the UAE, we send a link to a suitable kit. Ages 5–6 only need a tablet.
How much do robotics classes cost in Dubai?
Our classes cost AED 60 to AED 75 each plus VAT, depending on the package you choose (24 to 144 classes). The robotics kit is charged separately at cost, and the first class is free. Our prices guide has the details.
Should my child start with robotics or coding?
Both teach the same thinking, so either is a good start. Hands-on children often enjoy robotics first, while children who love games may prefer coding. Read robotics or coding: which first? to decide.
Are there robotics classes near me in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah?
Our robotics classes are live and online, so they reach every emirate with no travel, and the kit comes to your door. In Dubai, our VIP programme can also bring a senior instructor to your home.
Are classes available in Arabic?
Yes. Classes are taught in English or Arabic, whichever suits your child.
Do you offer robotics for schools?
Yes. Schools can bring robotics and coding into class with Bloqi for Schools, and run hackathons with Code Battle, our free inter-school hackathon.
