Coding & Robotics Classes for Kids in Muscat

Coding and robotics for kids in Muscat

Technology is one of the four CURIOOkids tracks, alongside entrepreneurship, creative design and English. Children learn through projects: they code, build and test, then see their work become a game, a website or an app. Classes run in small groups (6 students on average), so every child gets real time with the trainer.

This course is taught as part of the CURIOOkids Future Skills programme together with the other three tracks, over four terms a year with two sessions a week, at times that suit children's and parents' schedules.

What your child learns at each age

Kindergarten (3 to 6 years)

First computer skills such as typing and using a mouse, then coding concepts through characters and games, and building skills in Scratch Jr.

Grades 1 and 2 (6 to 8 years)

An introduction to HTML and CSS, basic data, designing their very first website, and the basics of good digital citizenship.

Advanced pathways (up to 12 years)

An introduction to artificial intelligence and coding their own chatbot, drag-and-drop mobile apps, coding with Micro:bit and understanding electric circuits, mobile app design, and finally developing an interactive game with HTML and JavaScript.

Robotics and electronics

Children are introduced to robotics and 3D animation, program the Micro:bit board and learn how electricity flows through circuits. In our Friday workshops and summer coding camp we use Matatalab educational robots to teach younger children coding through touch and movement.

AI and digital safety

Children discover how artificial intelligence works and build a chatbot of their own. With the British Embassy in Muscat we also ran a children's workshop on AI and cybersecurity, because using technology safely is part of learning it.

The four Future Skills tracks

The CURIOOkids Oman Future Skills programme is built on four tracks that children learn together: English, technology, coding and robotics, entrepreneurship and art and creative design. Each track strengthens the others: a child designs an idea, codes it, presents it in English and thinks about it as a project.

Frequently asked questions

How many sessions a week?

Two sessions a week, over four terms a year, as part of the CURIOOkids Future Skills programme.

At what age can my child start coding?

From 3 years with first computer skills, then coding through games, characters and Scratch Jr in kindergarten.

Does my child need any experience?

No. We choose the right level for your child's age and start from the basics.

What is the difference between coding and robotics?

Coding is writing instructions for a computer; robotics applies those instructions to a device that moves or responds. Your child learns both, for example on the Micro:bit board and Matatalab robots.

Where are the classes held?

At CURIOOkids Oman, Al Araimi Mall, Al Seeb, Muscat.
