What does GeekashramJr's Robotics course cover?
GeekashramJr's Robotics course is a beginner track for Grade 3–12 across 30 live sessions in three phases: (1) hardware knowledge — circuits, LEDs, buzzers, sensors, and motors; (2) beginner coding for robot logic; (3) hardware + coding projects such as line-followers and obstacle-avoiding bots. Mentors guide kit selection, wiring, and troubleshooting.
What does the Robotics syllabus include?
Robotics is taught live module by module (30 live sessions). Parents can review the full syllabus table on this page — topics, projects, and typical session time per module — plus download the curriculum brochure.
What projects will my child build in Robotics?
Students complete mentor-guided projects throughout the course. By the end they typically have: Wired and explained basic circuits with LEDs, buzzers, sensors, and motors; Wrote beginner code for decisions, loops, and robot-style logic; Shipped a hardware + coding project — line-follower or obstacle-avoiding bot — ready to demo. Sample project screenshots and walkthroughs are shown above.
What are the prerequisites for Robotics?
Robotics is for students in Grade 3–12. No prior robotics or coding experience needed — this beginner track starts with hardware knowledge before coding. Mentors guide kit selection and safe setup.
How much do Robotics classes cost at GeekashramJr?
GeekashramJr Super Mentors 1:1 is $11 per session with personal attention. Prices are shown in USD, matching /pricing/usa. Try a session for current offers.
Are Robotics classes live or recorded?
Classes are live online with GeekashramJr mentors — not passive video courses. Students get real-time feedback, debugging help, and project reviews in every session.
Do I need to buy a robotics kit before joining?
Mentors guide families on kits and simulators. Many students start with guided setups and scale up. We help with wiring, testing, and making robots work during live classes.
What will my child learn in the robotics course?
The beginner track has three phases across 30 live sessions: hardware knowledge first (circuits, LEDs, sensors, motors), then beginner coding, then hardware + coding projects such as line-followers and obstacle-avoiding bots.
Is robotics safe for younger kids?
Yes, with low-voltage kits and mentor guidance. Younger students start with hardware basics — LEDs, buzzers, and safe wiring — before coding and moving robots.
Do students learn coding as well as wiring?
Yes — but in order. Phase 1 is hardware knowledge, Phase 2 is beginner coding, and Phase 3 combines both so students debug wiring and code together on real projects.
How long is the robotics course?
The full beginner syllabus is 30 live sessions: about 10 on hardware, 8 on coding, and 12 on hardware + coding projects (including line-followers and obstacle-avoiding bots).
