Bring LEGO® Coding & Robotics to Your School

Where after school gets exciting.

A hands-on after-school program where students build, code and test their own LEGO® robots. Rocket Academy provides the kits, iPads and educators, and manages enrolments, payments and every session. Your school provides a suitable room, which we pay room hire for, and introduces the program to families.

Program Overview

You Provide the Space, We Deliver the Program

Here is everything your school needs to know, from how the program runs day to day to what we ask of you.

Program Snapshot

Program

LEGO® coding and robotics, delivered after school

Year Levels

Junior Engineers (Year 1 to Year 2) and Master Builders (Years 3 to 6)

Duration

8-week terms, long enough to build skills and projects students are proud of

A Great Program, Easy for Schools

A program students look forward to each week, delivered with the safeguards your school expects.

A Program Students Love

A set curriculum

Ready-made lesson plans aligned to the Australian curriculum, so every session has a clear learning purpose

Clear progression

Students build skills step by step, from Junior Engineers into Master Builders, and from Scratch to Python

Pathway to LEGO® League

A strong foundation in problem-solving, coding and robotics for students who want to compete

Fun and engaging

Hands-on builds with LEGO® Education kits keep students curious and involved every week

Fun and educational, at its best

Play and real learning go together, so students enjoy every minute and learn plenty along the way

Confidence and teamwork

Students grow their problem-solving, communication and confidence alongside their coding

Safe and Compliant

Working With Children Checks

Held by every educator, with details provided for everyone attending your site

Child Protection Policy

Shared with your school during onboarding

$20 million public liability insurance

Provided to your school before the program begins

SAM4Schools compliant

We meet the provider requirements held on your compliance register, including Working With Children Checks, insurance and inductions

First aid covered

First aid is covered on site, so school staff don't have to manage it

Your school's procedures

Our educators complete your contractor induction and sign in at reception on every visit

Proven and Simple to Run

Already in Melbourne schools

We currently run after-school programs in Melbourne schools

500+ hours delivered

Our educators have delivered more than 500 hours of programs

Low admin for the school office

We manage enrolments and payments directly with families. The program doesn't require school funding, and we pay room hire

Safety and compliance

Who will be on our school site?

Rocket Academy educators only. Every educator holds a Working With Children Check, and together they have delivered more than 500 hours of programs.

Do you meet our requirements for external providers?

Yes. We're compliant with SAM4Schools, the compliance register many schools use for providers. Every educator holds a Working With Children Check, we hold $20 million public liability insurance, and first aid is covered on site.

Do you have a Child Protection Policy and insurance?

Yes. We have a Child Protection Policy and $20 million public liability insurance, and we provide both to your school. We also share Working With Children Check details for every educator attending, along with a summary of how we screen our staff.

Will your educators follow our site procedures?

Yes. Our educators complete your contractor induction and any portal requirements, and sign in at reception on arrival.

Running it at your school

How many students do we need?

Classes run with 6 to 24 students, with a minimum of 6 needed to run. Students work in pairs on each kit.

Can we run more than one class?

Yes. Schools can run Junior Engineers (Year 1 to Year 2) and Master Builders (Years 3 to 6) classes side by side, organised by year level.

How long is the program, and when does it run?

Each term is 8 weeks, with sessions of 60 to 90 minutes straight after school. You can share your preferred days when you express interest.

What does our school need to provide?

A suitable learning space with tables, chairs and room for students to test their robots, approval to run the program on site, and a way to let families know. We'll provide a ready-to-use newsletter blurb, and we pay room hire for the space.

What equipment do you bring?

All of it. We supply LEGO® Education SPIKE™ kits (Essential for Year 1 to Year 2, Prime for Years 3 to 6) and iPads, so your school doesn't need to purchase anything.

How much work is it for school staff?

Very little. We manage enrolments and payments and deliver every session, so the school's role is to approve the program and share our newsletter blurb.

The program

Does the program align with the curriculum?

Yes. Our LEGO® lesson plans are aligned to the Australian curriculum, so the program complements what students already learn in class.

What will students learn?

Students in Year 1 to Year 2 build coding fundamentals, sequencing and loops with SPIKE™ Essential. In Years 3 to 6, they progress to sensors, motors, conditions and debugging with SPIKE™ Prime, building a foundation for high-school robotics.

Do students need any experience?

No. Students start from the beginning, and the program builds from there.

Cost and getting started

Who pays for the program?

Families pay for their own child's place, and your school does not fund the program. We manage enrolments and payments directly with parents, and we pay room hire for the space we use.

How much do families pay?

Fees are per student, per term. We'll confirm the exact fee in your proposal.

Can we still express interest if we're outside the Hawthorn area?

Yes. We're starting with schools within about 30 minutes of our Hawthorn studio, and we read every Expression of Interest.

How soon could we start?

We can still set up a short bootcamp for Term 4, or a full 8-week program from Term 1, 2027.

What happens after we express interest?

A member of our team will call to talk through your students, space and timing, then send a clear proposal for your review.

Have another question? We'd be glad to help. Call 0488 779 418 or email hello@rocketacademy.com.au.
