Natural Velocity x Rocket Academy Easter Holiday Program | Ages 9-12

Built for kids who are ready to level up.

This Easter holiday program challenges ages 9–12 to design, construct, and code advanced robotic machines using LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime. From racing F1 cars to piloting Mars helicopters, every project combines real engineering principles with block-based programming. This isn't just building — it's building things that think, move, and respond. Perfect for kids who want more than screen time these holidays.

✅ Master Logic and Control: Build confidence with loops, sensors, and conditional statements using SPIKE™ Prime coding blocks.

✅ Construct Advanced Machines: Engineer complex, multi-functional machines and understand how gears and linkages work.

✅ Precision Programming Missions: Program robots to execute specific tasks requiring measurement, calibration, and iterative refinement.

✅ Tackle Engineering Challenges: Apply advanced engineering principles to design solutions for complex building and automation challenges.

✅ Design Showcase: Present and share their working robotic designs and explain the code powering their machines.

Senior primary students (ages 9-12) ready to design, code, and innovate. Tackle real-world city challenges with LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime and next-level coding.

No experience required! Our instructors guide every step, so kids of all experience levels can jump right in and start coding and building.

Hands-on play meets guided storytelling in this fun-filled intro to building, thinking, and problem-solving.

• Programming skills: The students will develop essential coding skills by programming robots to solve engaging, real-world challenges.

• Creative problem-solving: Challenges will enhance their ability to think critically and find innovative solutions.

• Team collaboration: Students will strengthen teamwork and communication as they work together to build and refine their robotic designs.

• Engineering design principles: They'll apply engineering principles to construct, test, and evaluate robotics solutions.

This program can be booked as a 1-day or 2-day full program.  

Both days have different fun builds:

On Thursday, the kids get to build a rhino, a bull, an F1 car, and a break dancer.

On Friday, they build a Mars helicopter, an excavator, a space rover and a debugger.

Those following the 2-day program can deepen their learning and increase the complexity of their builds on the second day.
