Technology isn’t just about writing software—it’s about building real, functional systems. At The Kid Codes, our Make curriculum combines 3D printing, robotics, IoT, automation, and networking, teaching students how to design, build, and program physical projects. By blending software, hardware, and connectivity, they develop the engineering mindset needed to create the technology of the future.
3D Printing: Turning Ideas into Reality
Students learn how to design and fabricate objects using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software and 3D printers. They create custom parts, prototypes, and mechanical components, applying engineering and design principles to build functional solutions for robotics, IoT, and automation projects.
- Beginner: Introduction to 3D modeling & printing fundamentals
- Intermediate: Designing & printing functional parts for real-world applications
- Advanced: Custom 3D-printed enclosures, mechanical assemblies, and integration with electronics
Robotics: Building and Programming Smart Machines
Students don’t just program robots—they build them from the ground up. By working with motors, sensors, and microcontrollers, they learn how to make machines move, respond, and interact with their environment.
- Beginner: Basic motor control and sensor-based movement
- Intermediate: Programming robotic arms and autonomous vehicles
- Advanced: AI-powered robotics and real-world automation
IoT (Internet of Things): Connecting the Physical and Digital Worlds
From smart homes to wearable tech, the world is filled with connected devices. Students learn how to build IoT systems that sense, communicate, and automate, using microcontrollers, cloud platforms, and real-time data processing.
- Beginner: Working with sensors & basic IoT concepts
- Intermediate: Building smart home devices and automated systems
- Advanced: Cloud-based IoT networks and AI-integrated smart systems
Automation: Teaching Technology to Think for Itself
Automation is the foundation of modern industry. Students learn how to write code that controls physical systems, designing self-operating devices and intelligent workflows used in manufacturing, logistics, and AI-driven applications.
- Beginner: Basic automation principles & simple automated tasks
- Intermediate: Creating self-operating devices using hardware & software integration
- Advanced: AI-powered automation and industrial-level applications
Networking: The Backbone of Modern Technology
Most coding programs ignore networking, but at The Kid Codes, we believe it’s essential. Students learn how devices communicate, from basic network protocols to advanced distributed systems. They build IoT networks, configure secure communication protocols, and explore cybersecurity, ensuring they understand how data moves across systems.
- Beginner: Networking basics, data transfer, and communication protocols
- Intermediate: Configuring IoT networks and secure device connections
- Advanced: Large-scale networking and real-world cybersecurity applications
How Make Interlaces with the Curriculum
The Make aspect of our curriculum is deeply integrated with coding and AI:
- With Code → Students program robots, automate tasks, and control IoT devices.
- With AI → They build smart systems that analyze data, recognize patterns, and make decisions.
At The Kid Codes, students don’t just learn to program—they build, invent, and create.
