Learn Robotics at the Flying Minds Education Centre
If your child loves Lego, this is the best place to take that passion to the next level
Flying Minds Education Centre introduces Young Engineers Learning-by-Playing, a globally recognized program operating in 50+ countries and endorsed by Harvard School of Education. The program is the first stage to introduce children of age 6-8 to robotics.
Key programs include:
Bricks Challenge: Primary students build motorized models to explore classical mechanics principles in an engaging way.
Galileo Technic: Advanced students deepen their understanding of mechanics through more complex motorized projects.
These programs foster hands-on learning and collaboration, making STEM concepts accessible and fun.
Our classes are designed to introduce students to the exciting world of robotics and provide them with the knowledge and skills they need to become successful robot designers and engineers.
Through a combination of hands-on projects and engaging lessons, students will learn about robotics concepts such as sensors, motors, programming, and more.
They will have the opportunity to work with various types of robots, including wheeled robots and humanoid robots, and discover how each type works and its unique capabilities.
Join the Competitive FIRST LEGO League
We’re thrilled to announce that Flying Minds is launching official LEGO Robotics teams for the 2026–27 season, participating in the internationally acclaimed FIRST LEGO League (FLL)!
Our teams will compete in two exciting divisions:
-
Explore Division (Grades 2–4): 5 students per team
-
Challenge Division (Grades 4–8): 8 students per team
Currently, we are building one team in each division, with the possibility of opening additional teams based on interest.
Weekly Schedule:
-
Explore Division: Mondays, 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM
-
Challenge Division: Tuesdays, 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
This season’s theme is “Bioglow” — an exciting opportunity for students to dig into real-world challenges and unearth innovative solutions through robotics, research, and teamwork.
Spots are limited — don’t miss the chance to be part of this dynamic and inspiring journey!
