The Teachers' Workbench · tinker with what you have
Teach robotics & AI with what you already have
No expensive kit needed — ready-to-teach projects built from everyday tech and cheap local parts. One teacher, a whole class.

Kids learn engineering by hacking the tech around them. An imported kit is optional — never the price of entry.
Old phones, toys, radios and solar lamps become sensors, robots and smart builds.
Source locally — we show you what to look for and roughly what to spend.
Only the microcontroller is a must. The Maker Kit is a convenience, not a requirement.

Start with everyday tech and cheap local parts; build free in the Tinkercad simulator; AI runs in a browser. An optional Maker Kit is there if you’d rather buy a ready-made set.
Run the sessions, learners build something real, and every learner earns a certificate to show off.
Run the programme with your own learners. We hand you the “what you have” projects and an AI tutor for you and your students — so you can teach robotics and AI without us in the room.
🎓 Certification & termly outcomes reports are launching soon — waitlisters come on first.
Three ways to build: salvaged everyday parts, the free Tinkercad simulator (on-screen, no hardware at all), or the optional Maker Kit. AI needs only a browser.
KES 1,500 per teacher. School and multi-teacher licences on request.
