Hyett Education delivers hands-on robotics workshops to primary and secondary schools across the UK. Pupils build and programme robots using LEGO SPIKE Essential, SPIKE Prime and Python, with options from Year 1 through to sixth form. Each workshop page identifies selected curriculum connections for its intended cohort, delivery format and school jurisdiction. We bring the specialist workshop equipment; the school provides the agreed indoor space, tables, chairs and power. The assigned instructor’s vetting status is confirmed in the booking documentation, with evidence available through the school’s verification process. Catalogue prices start from £597 per day, excluding VAT. The exact price depends on the workshop and the geographic price band selected from the school postcode in the live quote engine.

What our robotics workshops cover

Our robotics range spans play-based building in the early years through to text-based Python in sixth form. Each workshop is hands-on and run by a specialist instructor. Schools can book a single workshop or ask which combinations are suitable for a day or multi-day programme.

  • Beginner STEMbotics (ages 5 to 11): Introductory robotics and block-based coding with LEGO Spike Essential and WeDo 2.0. No reading requirement at Key Stage 1. Learn more
  • Intermediate STEMbotics (ages 7 to 14): Block-based programming with LEGO Spike Prime, using sensors, motors, gyroscopes and challenge mats. Introduces foundational GCSE Computer Science concepts. Learn more
  • Advanced STEMbotics: Python Robotics (ages 11 to 18): Text-based Python programming with LEGO Spike Prime, covering sensors, path-following, automation and line-tracking robots. Supports GCSE and A-Level Computer Science. Learn more
  • AI Robotics: Machine Learning (ages 8 to 16): Pupils train image-recognition models that control LEGO robots, exploring supervised learning, training data, bias and AI ethics at an age-appropriate level. Learn more
  • STEMdrones: Drone Coding (ages 9 to 18): Programmable drone challenges and aerospace engineering with education-grade drones. Pupils code flight patterns, formation flying and obstacle navigation. Learn more

Curriculum connections by workshop

Each robotics workshop page identifies selected curriculum connections relevant to its product, intended cohort, delivery format and school jurisdiction. Depending on the workshop, activities may include algorithms, sequencing, selection, repetition or text-based programming. Schools should agree any qualification-specific link for their cohort before booking.

Robotics activities can prompt discussion of engineering and technology careers. Workshop records may form part of a school’s wider careers evidence, but a workshop does not by itself demonstrate that a Gatsby Benchmark has been met.

Why schools choose Hyett for robotics

We bring the specialist equipment and consumables specified for the booked workshop format. The school provides the agreed indoor space, tables, chairs and power, and we confirm the exact setup before the booking. The assigned instructor’s vetting status is confirmed in the booking documentation, with evidence available through the school’s verification process. In-school delivery avoids off-site transport and its travel risk assessment. Hyett Education supplies the activity risk assessment, while the school retains its normal on-site duties and decides how its usual consent and family-information procedures apply.

Our internally verified delivery ledger contains 1,190 unique schools through May 2026; Antony Hyett confirmed that the current total had passed 1,200 on 16 June 2026. Current reviews and ratings are available on Trustpilot. Robotics is one of our core workshop themes.

How to book a robotics workshop

Booking a robotics day is straightforward. Many schools book one to launch a STEM club, mark British Science Week, run an off-timetable enrichment day, or give a whole year group a shared, inspiring experience.

  1. Get in touch: Contact us with your school, the year groups involved and what you are looking for. There is no obligation at this stage.
  2. Choose your workshops: We will recommend the right robotics workshops for your year groups and goals, and can run several across a day so pupils experience a progression.
  3. Get a tailored quote: Pricing starts from £597 per day as a floor, excluding VAT. The price depends on the workshop and the geographic price band selected from the school postcode in the live quote engine. Use the tool for the exact figure and quoted format.
  4. Prepare for the day: Once confirmed, we send a preparation guide covering room setup and timetabling, and we bring the specialist workshop equipment.

Common Questions

Robotics Workshop FAQs

What age groups are your robotics workshops for?

Our robotics workshops run from Year 1 (age 5) through to sixth form (age 18). The pathway progresses from play-based building and block-based coding in the primary years to text-based Python programming that supports GCSE and A-Level Computer Science. We match the workshop and challenge level to your year groups.

What equipment do you provide, and do we need to supply anything?

We bring the specialist equipment and consumables for the robotics format booked. The school provides the agreed indoor space, tables, chairs and power. We confirm the exact setup before the booking.

How much does a robotics workshop cost?

Workshops start from £597 per day as a floor, excluding VAT. The price depends on the workshop and the geographic price band selected from the school postcode in the live quote engine. Sharing one day across several classes can lower the cost per pupil. Use the tool for the exact figure and quoted format.

Are the workshops aligned to the National Curriculum?

Each workshop page identifies selected curriculum connections relevant to its product, intended cohort, delivery format and school jurisdiction. Activities can support selected objectives; they do not teach or assess a whole subject curriculum. Schools should agree any qualification-specific link for their cohort before booking.

How many pupils can take part?

Selected four-session robotics taster days can reach up to 128 pupils in KS1 or 240 pupils in KS2. For Intermediate STEMbotics, the KS2 maximum is 60 pupils per session and 240 per day; the KS3 maximum is 40 per session and 160 per day. Longer formats have lower daily capacities, and we plan the timetable around your year groups and numbers.

Do you travel to our school, and where do you cover?

Yes. We deliver in-school across England, Wales and Scotland, with UK-wide enquiries welcome. The price depends on the workshop and the geographic price band selected from the school postcode in the live quote engine.
