Is your child’s potential being capped by passive screen time? In a rapidly evolving world, traditional schooling often struggles to keep pace with the technical demands of the future. Many children are "users" of technology, but few understand the mechanics behind it.
Without a solid foundation in logic and engineering, students risk falling behind in the global "Robolution." By the time they reach high school, the gap in spatial reasoning and technical problem-solving can become overwhelming. You want them to lead, not just follow, but where do you start when the market is flooded with "toys" rather than real education?
We don’t just teach kids to code; we teach them to think. Since 2016, we have used our "Robotics First" methodology to turn curious builders into real-world innovators. We bridge the gap between play and professional engineering at our Northmead Square flagship venue.
Our core curriculum consists of 40 classes a year (January – November) with a maximum of 12 children per programme to ensure elite-level instruction.

Block Bots Academy was founded in 2016 with a single mission: to bring world-class STEM education to the kids of South Africa. Led by Lise Vermaak, Elizma Smith, and Frikkie van der Merwe, we have grown into the region's largest independent robotics hub. Our move to Northmead Square on 1 June 2026 represents our commitment to providing a professional home for the next generation of South African engineers.
Host unforgettable birthdays, holiday camps, homeschool sessions, and team-building events in our high-energy robotics lab at Northmead Square. Designed for creativity, learning, and hands-on fun, our venue gives every child, family, or team a unique space to play, build, and innovate.
