Maker Pathway · Ages 8–14

The Maker Pathway

Now enrolling in Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City

Real-world STEM starts here. In the Maker Pathway, students build hands-on projects using Micro:bit, breadboards, sensors, motors, and more — progressing all the way to Arduino and 3D printing. With small class sizes and real instructors, they learn to solve problems creatively through invention.

Build, Invent, Create

Empowering young makers to turn ideas into real-world projects

What Students Will Experience

Hands-On Projects

Students build simple circuits and interactive gadgets while learning to use real-world components like Micro:bit and Arduino.

Basic Coding Skills

Students learn block-based coding with MakeCode and progress to text-based programming to power their projects and bring designs to life.

Creative Problem Solving

Students solve engineering challenges, test ideas, and iterate on their designs using critical thinking and maker mindset skills.

Pathway Structure

Each stage runs as a 12-week program (90 minutes per class) in our Thao Dien makerspace. Students progress step-by-step, building confidence, creativity, and technical mastery.

Beginner Level (Ages 8-12)

Beginner · Class 1

Students building electronic circuits with Micro:bit microcontroller in beginner maker class

Introduction to Making & Coding

Students begin their Maker journey by building simple electronic gadgets with circuits and Micro:bit microcontrollers. They explore block-based coding, electricity flow, LED projects, and interactive design while gaining confidence with maker tools and electronics.

Beginner · Class 2

Kids building electronic gadgets with sensors and motors in STEM class

Gadget Makers

Students build more advanced gadgets using sensors, motors, and servos with Micro:bit programming. They sketch ideas, prototype concepts, and refine designs while learning structured engineering problem solving and design thinking.

Beginner · Class 3

Student-built Micro:bit robot car with 3D printed parts and motor driver

3D Printers & Motorized Motion

Students explore how 3D printing and electronics combine to create motion and build working vehicles. Projects progress from creative 3D printed designs to motor driver control and culminate in a final robotics vehicle challenge.

Intermediate Level (Ages 9-14)

Transition from MakeCode to Arduino and JavaScript · Real text-based coding, advanced electronics, design thinking, and prototyping

Intermediate · Class 4

Students learning JavaScript programming with Micro:bit for smart sensor-driven machines

Smart Machines with Micro:bit & JavaScript

Bridge from blocks to text-based coding. Students use Micro:bit and MakeCode side-by-side with JavaScript to program smarter, sensor-driven mechanisms and 3D-print functional parts for robotics projects. Where creativity meets real code.

Intermediate · Class 5

Kids wiring Arduino circuits with sensors and motors learning C++ programming

Arduino Inventors

Students move from MakeCode to C++ coding with Arduino microcontrollers. They wire circuits, connect sensors and motors, and debug real electronics to understand how code powers physical inventions and robotics. From visual blocks to real-world code.

Intermediate · Class 6

Student-designed Arduino prototype with 3D printed parts and electronic sensors

Prototype Lab

A guided capstone where students plan, code, and assemble a working prototype that combines Arduino, sensors, motors, and 3D-printed parts. They learn to test, refine, and present their engineering designs. Build it. Test it. Show it.
