Meet the board
Understand inputs, outputs and how to upload a first programme.
Microcontrollers
Make code do something real.
Connect software to the physical world. Learn to read a sensor, control an output and build a small electronic system of your own.

At a glance
These sample outlines show the shape of a Private programme. Suitability, timing, equipment, mentoring arrangements and fees are confirmed before enrolment.
- Starting point
- Early builders
- Sample duration
- 4–6 months
- Weekly commitment
- Around 2–3 hours a week
- Age suitability
- Discuss with us before enrolment
A good starting point
Some familiarity with coding is helpful. We will discuss the learner’s experience, age suitability and equipment before recommending this pathway.
Tools to explore
- Arduino-compatible board
- Breadboard and jumper wires
- Low-voltage sensors and LEDs
- Arduino development tools
Equipment, software access and any additional costs will be clarified before enrolment.
The learning stages
A sample roadmap, with each stage building on the last. The final pace and content will be confirmed for the programme.
Read the world
Collect sensor readings and learn what the values mean.
Make a response
Use conditions and outputs to turn readings into useful actions.
Connect the pieces
Design, test and explain a complete sensor-based project.
Guidance meets practice
With a mentor
Mentor guidance connects circuit concepts with code and helps learners troubleshoot. Session arrangements are confirmed before enrolment.
Between sessions
Build small low-voltage circuits, change the code, take readings and keep a record of each experiment.
For parents
See circuit experiments, project milestones and mentor feedback, with equipment and supervision requirements clarified in advance.
What they could build
Illustrative project briefs for this pathway.
A light that listens
Use a light sensor to switch an LED on as the room becomes darker.
A mini environment monitor
Collect readings, decide what matters and show a useful response.
The goal is a working project the learner can explain, with a record of testing, feedback and improvements.
