Here we offer the Trial class - the option to test drive how your child will like our lessons. We are fully aware that it is hard to know in advance if the course will fit your child's expectations. And we are happy to help! That is why we offer the Robotics Trial class based on MBlock coding - the one-hour lesson where your child will touch one of the selected topics from our course. Also during this trial hour, we will show your child the whole spectrum of our disciplines.
This offer works once per term per pupil.
Girls and boys are very welcome!
