PROGRAMMES

Programmes and activities

The timetable is only half of it. At “Irfan Ngjeqari” the afternoon carries the other half: a robot that has to be made to work, a Cambridge level to reach, a football session, a ballet rehearsal for the school show. What pupils do after the bell is as planned as what comes before it. Everything the school runs is gathered here in one place, grouped into four areas, so a parent can see the whole year rather than only the subjects on the timetable.

Robotics runs with VEX Robotics and with ASR, the Robotics Institute. Children from age four build mechanisms with gears and motors; by high school they are programming robots in C++. The course is free every day, with transport included. The other areas work the same way: pupils choose, commit to a term, and show what they made at the end of it.

In partnership with

VEX Robotics
ASR – Robotics Institute

Three pupils build a small robot at a table, with a football and ballet shoes in the background.

Robotics International Learning Sport & Arts

Robotics here is learned by building. Children aged 4–12 assemble models with gears and motors, and students in grades IX–XII program VEX robots in C++, in partnership with ASR. Alongside robotics, pupils learn to use artificial intelligence responsibly, to stay safe online and the digital skills of ICT.

Video from the course sessions

1 / 9

Standing robot

A desk-high robot, built piece by piece and commanded from the app.

2 / 9

A robotics lesson

The class works from the parts boxes, each pupil on their own model.

3 / 9

From the diagram to the model

The diagram goes up on the classroom screen and the pupils follow it step by step.

4 / 9

The finished model

The end of the lesson: everyone holds up what they built.

5 / 9

Climbing monkey

A motor pulls the cord over a pulley system and the monkey climbs up and down the frame. The pupils adjust the tension until the movement runs smoothly.

6 / 9

Delivery buddy

A wheeled vehicle with a cargo bed. The class builds it together, step by step, then tests it on the desk to see how much it carries without tipping over.

7 / 9

Pumpjack

Gears turn the motor's rotation into the up-and-down motion of the beam, just like a real oil pump. The pupil explains the mechanism herself on camera.
