Placement

How does level placement work?

No test, no pressure. We'll place your child in the right level at the first session. You don't have to decide anything at registration.

01

Trial session

Your child first comes by for free, takes a look around and tries things out. Afterwards we discuss together which level fits best.

02

Level adjustment

During the first two sessions the level can be changed at any time. That way every child can take their time to find where they feel most comfortable.

03

Re-evaluation at block end

At the end of each block we bring together our observations from all sessions. We adjust the level fairly, one step up or, if needed, back.

04

A real journey of discovery

Your child dives into many disciplines, from robotics to 3D printing. They get inspired and find friends who share their interests.

Parent FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What does the membership cost and what's included?
The membership fee per semester is CHF 660 Early Bird (until Jul 31) or CHF 720 standard. That covers all 15 sessions plus materials and components. No hidden costs.
My child has never coded before — can they still join?
Yes, absolutely. The membership is open to everyone, from the first step to the competition stage. We start where your child is.
How is the level decided?
We place your child in the right level during the first session. No test needed. During the first two sessions the level can be changed at any time.
What happens if fewer than 6 kids sign up?
If there are fewer than 6 registrations, the semester is cancelled. In that case there are no costs for you, and we'll let you know in good time before the start.
What if my child misses a session?
No problem. We've planned in a reserve session (Dec 14, 2026) as a buffer for illness, weather or school events.
Do we need our own devices or materials?
No. We provide 3D printers, laptops, electronics components, sensors and consumables on-site. Your child just needs to bring themselves and their curiosity.
Can siblings join together?
Yes, we'd love that. Each additional child from the same family gets a 10% discount on the membership. Just check the box on the registration form. We'll follow up with the details.
How can we get there by public transport / car?
Bus stops Zug Ammannsmatt or Steinhausen Sumpfstrasse, train station Zug Chollermülli. Parking for parents right in front of the building.
