Six-Level Progressive System (Level 1–6)

Each student will be placed in a level according to their ability upon enrollment and will progress step by step to ensure steady growth. The course has clear objectives and a well-structured curriculum.

Level	Key Skills	Recommended Grades	Typical Project Tasks
Level 1	Part recognition, basic building, simple movement	G1–G2	Small animal models, basic control tasks
Level 2	Sensor usage, event triggering	G2–G3	Light-controlled doors, obstacle-avoiding robots
Level 3	Variables & loops, logical reasoning	G3–G4	Automatic ball launcher, smart tracking car
Level 4	Multi-module coordination, task decomposition	G4–G5	Automated warehouse system, smart streetlights
Level 5	Algorithm optimization, programming structure refactoring	G5–G6	Smart waste sorter, traffic system simulation
Level 6	Independent creative projects, competition preparation	G6–G12	Programming challenge competitions, task-based mission demos

Format

Class Duration: 90 minutes per session, small class size (4–6 students)
Equipment Used: LEGO® SPIKE Prime/Essential, programming tablets or laptops
Teaching Approach: Project-Based Learning (PBL), with 1–2 real-world, problem-oriented projects completed per term
Assessment & Feedback: Each term concludes with a project presentation and evaluation, providing stage-wise feedback

International Certification & Academic Pathway

Students completing each level will receive the “Robotics Literacy Certificate”issued by Q-learning Institute, which includes teacher comments and a stage-wise skills assessment.
Senior students (Level 5–6) can apply for the "Q-Learning Robotics Mastery Badge", a valuable credential for private school applications, competitions, and building a personal portfolio.

The curriculum aligns with international competition standards and can serve as preparation for:

FIRST LEGO League / WRO / Canada Technology Challenge
Toronto STEM Fair / Programming Project Exhibitions
North American K12 STEM Portfolio Development
