From first-time competitors to Presentation Finalists.

When the girls began preparing for the National Robotics Competition 2026, everything was new to them. They had to start from scratch—designing the robot, developing the attachments and writing the code. This required them to think conceptually and analytically as they developed their own solutions.

Not every idea worked initially. Through repeated testing, they learnt to identify what went wrong, make adjustments and progressively improve their solutions. Along the way, they became more confident in expressing their ideas, making decisions and solving problems together.

As first-time competitors, being shortlisted for the Presentation Finals was an encouraging milestone. When the day arrived, the large and unfamiliar presentation venue could easily have felt intimidating.

The room was big—but their courage was bigger. They stepped forward together, ready to share their ideas with the judges.

More than the result, the experience reflected how much they had grown—as problem-solvers, as teammates and in their confidence to face unfamiliar challenges.

The Surprise Challenge Tested More Than Their Robot — It Tested How They Think.

During the recent National Robotics Competition, all participating teams were given a surprise challenge they had never seen before. Once the challenge was revealed, they had only a short time to study the information, understand what was required, and decide on their strategy.

Our team had a choice.

They could take the safer and more familiar approach — use their existing program(s) to stack the large cubes, even if some ended up in the wrong colour combinations. They would still earn points, just fewer of them.

But they chose not to settle for the familiar option.

And this was where the real learning showed.

They studied the surprise requirement carefully, discussed what had changed, considered what they could still apply from their previous practice, and decided how to adapt their approach towards a potentially higher-scoring solution.

The surprise tested more than whether their robot could complete the task. It tested how they think.

Their months of practice had given them more than a routine to repeat. It had given them a bank of experiences they could draw upon when the situation changed.

They had to weigh their options:
Do we stay with what we already know will work — or use what we have learnt to try something better?

That is where judgement and decision-making come in.
We Don’t Just Practise Missions. We Practise How to Think.

For us, one of the most valuable outcomes of robotics learning is not simply knowing what to do because a child has practised it before. It is being able to observe what has changed, think through the possibilities, form a judgement and decide what to do next.

Because sometimes, the most valuable learning happens when the answer isn’t already known.

Is your 7 or 8-year-old ready for open-ended robotics challenges?
Give them a head start by building a strong foundation.

Our holiday workshop focuses on coding logic, movement accuracy, and problem-solving — helping young learners understand how to control the robot more precisely.

Through applied STEM activities, children will use coding concepts, decimals, and simple geometry to move the robot more accurately, test their ideas, and refine their solutions.

Similar to robotics competitions, we do not rely on step-by-step coding instructions. Instead, learners are guided to think through the challenge, make adjustments, and solve problems more independently.

This workshop is designed to pave a stronger foundation before learners move on to more advanced robotics challenges.

Choose from 3 available sessions. Each child attends 1 session only.
Small class size.

The robot did not work at first — and that became the best part of the lesson.

The learner was trying to launch the drone using a hammer attachment, but even at maximum motor speed, the strike was not strong enough.

So we paused, explored the idea with a simple broom demonstration, and he discovered how a longer arm can create a stronger turning effect.

That little “I see!” moment made the learning come alive.

He then returned to the robot, adjusted the design, tested it again, and experienced the concept through his own hands.

When children uncover STEM concepts through building, testing, and seeing the results for themselves, the learning becomes much more impactful.

This is the kind of learning we believe in — fun, hands-on, and
purposeful.

Think Through Play.

Our team received “Exceeded Expectations” across all Innovation Project presentation rubrics in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge – UNEARTHED.

Beyond building and coding, they had to research, explain their ideas clearly and present their solution as a team.

At Inventive Kids, robotics learning goes beyond following instructions.

Think Through Play.

Not just building. Not just coding.

In our June Holiday Program, learners are guided to think through how things work — by planning, testing, observing, and refining
their own solutions.

Ages 7–8 focus on building strong foundations.
Ages 9–12 extend into design, refinement, and portfolio building through video and webpage creation.

5-day programme (Mon–Fri)
Same programme offered across two separate weeks.
