Check out our newest robotics equipment, SPIKE Essential! The little sibling to the SPIKE robots you may already have encountered, SPIKE Essential is perfect for younger students to develop their understanding of robotics and coding.

Here we have hand-picked several exciting projects to choose from to help discover how robots use sensors, motors, and code to collect information and respond to the world around them, plus you'll build your own using our LEGO SPIKE Essential robotics equipment.

Children under eight years of age need to be accompanied by an adult to help out and will have an iPad and robot to work on together. Adult helpers do not need a ticket (robotics experience optional!).

Imagination Station does not supervise students between classes, this is the responsibility of the parent/caregiver. Some courses may be run in multiple locations. Please check individual session listings carefully for details.
