Some of our Testimonials:

“We were blown away by the knowledge and expertise shown. The activity was accessible to all pupils and very inclusive of all attainments/abilities. He naturally navigated and led the class with ease. Our pupils are still talking about the incredible experience they had. Thank you!”
~ Jess, Teacher, Wales, February 2024

“The robotic workshops provided by Prepare Robo have enriched our design technology, computing, maths and science curriculum. The experience has allowed the children to see themselves as an engineer and develop team building, communication and problem solving skills. Our children really enjoyed the workshops, offering them an experience we would not be able to necessarily provide in school with all the equipment and knowledge Prepare Robo provided.”
~ Michelle, Teacher, Suffolk, November 2023

“The robotics workshop really went down well with my Y5 class this week – especially the ‘robot wars’ at the end! The workshop was great fun and encouraged all children to actively participate, but required for them to use their logic and problem-solving skills. It certainly tested our brains, but in an exciting way! All of the children were fully engaged, which is always delightful to see as a class teacher, as the session was well-paced and well-organised. The equipment provided was clean and worked well. Our PrepareRobo leader Wojciech had a lovely manner with the class and he shared a wealth of specialist knowledge in this area – nothing was too much trouble! I would highly recommend this workshop to other schools looking for something a little different and something that demands the children to use their independence and sense of rationale – the final ‘battle of the bots’ also tested their PSE abilities as team work, winning & loosing acceptance and patience are crucial. Thank you PrepareRobo for a great session!”
~ Lauren, Teacher, Manchester,  May 2023,

“We were very happy with the service provided. The children were thoroughly engaged and the project offered good curriculum links for computing and DT. We hope to arrange another workshop in the future.”
~ Chris, Teacher, Northamptonshire, November 2022,

“Wojech turned up on time and set up his resources with ease. In terms of the workshop, he explained how to use the components and what they were clearly but gave the children plenty of opportunities to be independent and to investigate. He was friendly and patient as well as calm. The workshop was well lead and the children got a lot from it. We would be happy for Wojech to come again next year.”
~ Melodye, Teacher, Berkshire, November 2022,

“Year 4 had the best morning making Robots! With so many cross curricular links and fun elements the children were engaged the entire time (nearly 3 and a half hours non stop). The children learnt skills like coding and how to build a circuit, but had to practice patience and resilience. I would absolutely recommend!”
~ A, Teacher, Essex, January 2023,

“We had a fantastic experience with PrepareRobo over the two days Wojciech was in our school. He was very knowledgeable, passionate, helpful and brilliant with the pupils. We will definitely consider using this company again next year. The pupils had lots of fun and, importantly, were given lots of creative freedom when building and designing their projects.”
~ Samuel, Teacher, Manchester, January 2023,

“Wojciech is extremely friendly and professional. He communicated promptly via text and email. The sessions were brilliant – thoroughly enjoyed by the children. The suggestion to include the coding was a good step up for our children (year 6). Would definitely recommend these workshops.”
~ Jennifer, Teacher, London, February 2023,

“This was a wonderful experience for the children. The program of activities fully engaged each and every child. Children gained skills and knowledge in design, problem solving, coding, building and finally how to work as part of a team. Children also had a lot of fun!!!”
~ Ruth, Teacher, London, February 2023,

“Wojchiech was great, really well organised and adaptable. Our students had a great session exploring robotics and had a lot of fun fighting against each other. Would definitely recommend to any school looking for a fun, refreshing, educational activity to provide their class with.”
~ Avi, Teacher, London, February 2023,

“We had an amazing afternoon in Year 4 building, programming and playing with our robots, I could not recommend enough.”
~ Harriet, Teacher, Norfolk, March 2023,

“Wojciech was really amazing with the children, setting rules and expectations very high whilst allowing the children opportunities to problem solve, work as a team and trail and error when building their robots! He was so supportive and professional! I can not recommend this workshop enough, it is a must TRY if you want your class to explore and practice ALL the skills we have been teaching throughout the year!”
~ Fardawsa, Teacher, London, March 2023,

“Our Year 4 children had a fantastic day this week taking part in robotics workshop. We had lots of fun designing, programming, making and battling with our ‘Sumo Warrior’ robots. The children were so enthusiastic and engaged throughout the day, with many of them stating ‘This is the best day ever!’ The workshop ran smoothly and was a perfect fit for our ‘Innovations’ topic. We strongly recommend Prepare Robo and we will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
~ Stephanie, Teacher, West Midlands, May 2023,

“Incredibly engaging workshop. Children learnt to work in teams, apply their previous knowledge and add new information they received. It was fun as well as educational.”
~ Liudmila, Teacher, London,  May 2023,

“The robotics workshops were a fantastic way to lead our STEM week with lots of cross curricular links to computing. The children really enjoyed it and the workshops were very interactive and well organised. Each session ran very smoothly and the instructor was very well informed and great with the children.”
~ Rebecca, Teacher, London, April 2023,

“Wojciech and Karol were amazing with their workshops with Years 3-6. The children were engaged throughout and so excited by the whole experience. Children were encouraged to think creatively about their building and were given clear, instructions regarding their coding. Wojciech used really simple analogies to help the children understand the coding language e.g. to describe ‘if/else’ Wojciech used to analogy of ‘if it is raining, I will bring an umbrella, else I will….’; The children quickly showed understanding because of this. We very much look forward to having more PrepareRobo workshops in the future.”
~ Kathryn, Teacher, Surrey, December 2022,

“Thank you so much for your time running the building and coding sessions for our Year 5 and 6 children. They had an absolutely brilliant time and learnt so much. Both classes were enraptured by everything you showed them and got them to try out. Thank you!”
~ Matt, Teacher, Wiltshire, June 2023,

“This was a great workshop and the children had a lot of fun. There was good pace and the children managed to get everything done in the allotted time. Woijtech was good with the children and explained what to do well. It was also good, as he assessed what the children could do and gave us a challenge in our session which the children loved. The lego was good – the children loved the building and really loved the coding. They enjoyed the battle of the robots at the end. Thanks!”
~ Alexandra, Teacher, Oxfordshire, June 2023,

“The workshop was fantastic! The children thoroughly enjoyed such a hands on, practical activity and we will definitely book again!”
~ Emily, Teacher, Birmingham, June 2023,

“We all loved my 9 year old’s robot building party. Wojciech was great with all the kids, and the children loved the freedom that they had to create the robots however they wanted. It made for a fun, different and hugely enjoyable and relaxing party – a first! I wouldn’t hesitate to book up again.”
~ Christine, Mum, Hertfordshire, July, 2023.

“We had a fantastic experience with PrepareRobo over the two days Wojciech was in our school. He was very knowledgeable, passionate, helpful and brilliant with the pupils. We will definitely consider using this company again next year. The pupils had lots of fun and, importantly, were given lots of creative freedom when building and designing their projects.”
~ Sam, Teacher, Manchester, January 2023.

“Every single one of our children loved the session! They were fully engaged and were disappointed when the day was over. Professional and knowledgeable leaders who made sure all could complete tasks; supporting those less able and stretching the more able. I couldn’t recommend them enough! We will definitely be booking for next year and look forward to hearing what is on offer for other year groups! Thanks!”
~ Roxanne, Teacher, London, June 2022

“We had a brilliant, well-planned session which the children loved and simultaneously met national curriculum objectives. We had a fantastic time and the children really enjoyed the experience.”
~ Kesta, Teacher, London, June 2022

“It was brilliant to have Wojciech come in a do a robotics with my Year 5/6 class. He was incredibly enthusiastic and the children were very engaged. They had a fantastic time following a very clear structure. Would definitely recommend.”
~ Nat, Teacher, Cambridgeshire, May 2022

PrepareRobo did a Lego robot building activity at my son’s 9th birthday party in November. The kids (boys and girls) all absolutely loved it, they were completely caught up in the Lego-building and then huge excitement for the battle of the robots. Woijech was brilliant at knowing how much to let the kids get on with the challenge themselves and when to step in and help. It was enormous fun for kids and adults alike, most of the parents stayed at the party as they wanted to join in! We will be recommending PrepareRobo to friends for birthday parties and we will also be encouraging our son’s primary school to get them in for coding workshops – what s brilliant way to get children interested in coding! Genius fun. Many thanks
~ Patricia, Mum, London, November 2022

“Wonderful starter for our Robot topic to get the children hooked. They loved it as shown by their engagement in the tasks and the way they have talked about it since. It was a good way to introduce simple codes and to consider if/else variables. It will help them as they begin to program the ‘Iron Man’ Robots we are making in DT as the code is very similar. Thank you for a great experience DT”
~ Heather, Teacher, Hampshire, April 2022

“Wojciech led a LEGO mindstorms workshop for our year 8 children. He was clear, concise and had the children’s rapt attention. Our children were fully immersed in the project and Wojciech made the day very engaging for them. Our children particularly loved the robot battles at the end of the session! Thank you Wojciech for an amazing day!”
~ Aimee, Teacher, London, March 2022

– Jean, Mum, Berkshire, July 2021

“We are so grateful to Karol for organising and leading a brilliant birthday workshop. He managed to calmly and sensitively steer a group of 7 ten year olds. All with very individual needs. It was the best birthday party my son has ever had, focused fun and the battles were really rewarding. They particularly loved modifying the robots after each round. It led to a great party Thank you so much!”
~ Charlotte, Mum, London, July 2021

“Great workshop! Well organised and well-priced. In a morning, children built their own robot and used coding to give it instructions. Children loved it!”

~ George, Teacher, Bedfordshire, September 2020

“Children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Karol is extremely knowledgable, calm and patient.”
~ Kathy, Assistant Headteacher, Bedfordshire, September 2020

“A well-organised, exciting way to apply coding learnt in the classroom. Both girls and boys were fully engaged in the whole experience from planning to building to coding to enjoying. This activity represents excellent value for money, is inspiring and impacted positively on the children’s understanding of coding. “
~ Gail, Headteacher, Bedfordshire, October 2019

“A fantastic day had by all. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and learnt a lot. It fitted in really well with our topic about coding and was a lovely way to end the unit of work. Links to the National Curriculum were made. The workshop was well pitched for the children’s ages meaning all children were fully engaged with the sessions. “
~ Victoria, Teacher, London, January 2020.

“Wow! Can’t beleive what the children were able to acheive in 1.5hrs! LOved that they weren’t told what to do step by step, but rather to explore and find out for themselves. “
~ John, Teacher, Oxfordshire, January 2020

“Karol was punctual, patient, very knowledgable and helpful. The children were fully engaged throughout and were delighted when their robots moved! Would recommend- great value. “
~ Julie, Teacher, Oxfordshire, December 2019

“Brilliant morning, children were all engaged and were able to problem solve and work as a team. Would recommend very highly.”
~ Sue, Deputy Headteacher, Essex, December 2019

“An excellent session with some of our under-achieving disengaged kids. They were all over it and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They have already started demanding a lunchtime club so that they can do more. Very impressed and pleased. We will be booking some more sessions soon. ”
~ Tina, Teacher, Kent, December 2019.

“What a fabulous workshop, Karol went above and beyond with the pupils, he even allowed the workshop to over run so pupils could create ‘robo wars’ Brockhill style. A very buzzy environment created with every pupil succeeding at their task. A huge thank you and we will look forward to having you guys back. “
~ Jo, Teacher, Kent, December 2019

“Absolutely amazing sessions. Well run and lots of input with students, asked questions and let students answer questions, got all involved. “
~ Karen, Teacher, Leicestershire, November 2019

“An excellent day! All children from Y1-6 were appropriately engaged and challenged in their activities. The man who ran our workshops was excellent- he explained things clearly, but without just telling children the answers. I especially liked how in the workshop with my children Y5 and 6, they weren’t told exactly how to do various steps, but rather were given some information and then told to come up with their own solutions. We would love to book again next year (especially if we can get it for such a bargain price again)! “
~ Rachel, Teacher, Bedfordshire, November 2019

“The children got a lot out of the workshop. There was a good balance of independent child lead design and the necessary guidance to programme. Children really enjoyed having the opportunity to play with and appreciate theirs and others robots. The work shop was a good length and the member of staff had a lovely, calm manner when working with the children. “
~ Ashleigh, Teacher, Hertfordshire, November 2019

“All of the children really enjoyed designing and using the robots. The sessions were the perfect length of time for them to explore and engage with them. Thank you for a great week! “
~ Anna, Teacher, Surrey, October 2019

We are hoping to repeat the experience very soon with this company.”
~ Cathryn, Teacher, Cheshire, September 2019

“Thank you for a great workshop. The children learnt a lot and were able to use their imagination to be creative and they loved the robots coming to life. You were very friendly and built lovely relationships throughout the day with the children. I hope we can use you again in the near future.”
~ Sarah, Teacher, Manchester, February 2019

“Thank you for your visit to our school, the children really enjoyed themselves. The workshop was the perfect way to introduce the children to our new topic – ‘Rise of the Robots’.”
~ Katie, Teacher, Hampshire, November 2018

“When I first saw the boxes I was a little worried as I have a reception/year one class, however they totally blew me away with how well they did and how much they enjoyed it! Thank you!”
~ Kathy, Teacher, Worcestershire, November 2018

“The day was yet again absolutely fantastic. It ran smoothly, and the children were excited and engaged throughout. The quality of skills that they were taught was exceptional, where they all had the opportunity to use top end gadgets. Thank you for an incredible experience.”
~ Victoria, Teacher, Cambridgeshire, October 2018

“A very well organised workshop! Children absolutely loved exploring different options of making their robot work and avoid all obstacles.Would definitely recommend this workshop!”

~ Kate, Teacher, Wiltshire, October 2018

“An interactive and engaging session, which really excited the children. It involved them using their coding and reasoning skills. The instructor was warm, approachable and professional. He spent time talking to each child, giving feedback and providing clear guidance on what the next steps were. Thank you!”
~ Jackie, Teacher, London, October 2018

“We had a robot workshop for 90 Year 3 children. The children had a wonderful time and really enjoyed being able to create a battle with their finished robots. The session was well planned and structured in a way that enabled the children to be able to independently create their own robots . The session leader was very informative and he ran the sessions with clear instructions that meant the children could easily understand the task. He was helpful with all children and offered guidance when they were building their robots. He was also fantastic and patient answering the many questions that 7 and 8 year olds have! The children learnt a lot from the session and were able to use this for a written piece of work about ‘caring for a robot.'”
~ Tracy, Teacher, Northamptonshire, September 2018

“This was a very enjoyable workshop which Fine class enjoyed immensely. It was interesting and the children enjoyed building the robots and then making them move using coding. All relevant and well delivered. A very good workshop all round.”
~ Dickon, Teacher, Kent, October 2018

“Excellent work shop which the children throroughly enjoyed!”
~Olivia, Teacher, Buckinghamshire, September 2018

“Thank you very much for the workshops day. The children absolutely loved it and it was perfect for enthusing the children within our school about our current school topic about computers and robotics. The children are still talking about the event a week later and the older children have used the knowledge learnt in the workshops to go on and build their own battle bots with the school’s computing resources. The team were fantastic with the children and were great at differentiating the activities for all year groups within our school. Many thanks again.”
~ Paul, Computing Subject Leader/Year 4, Exmouth, January 2018.

“Excellent day which was enjoyed by all pupils!”
~ Edward, Teacher, Berkshire, April 2018

“My son had a fantastic 11th birthday with his friends! 10 boys, head down, fully focused and having fun – what more could you want!”
~ Allison, Mum, April 2018

“All the children at my son’s 9th birthday party had a great time. All of them were totally engaged and focused for the whole time. They were all proud of the robots they had built and highly competitive in the ‘battles’. A great party, thank.you.”
~ Sally, Mum, May 2018

“Thank you for a great day of fun! The children thought it was the ‘best lesson ever’. They thoroughly enjoyed working in their teams and using their imagination to build their robot.”
~ Nadine,  Teacher, Derbyshire, May 2018

“I have never seen the students so excited and engaged in any school I have observed in the last six months. That’s got to be a good point. If their minds are on and focused they must be learning. The building of the robot did involve a lot of physics without them even knowing it. There was a lot of DT thinking as well, with lots of rapid iteration and design improvements.”
~ Mehul, Assistant Headteacher and STEM Lead, Claremont High School Academy, London, November 2015

“PrepareRobo had come recommended to us by word of mouth, and seemed like just the thing for our LEGO® / robots / electronics and engineering obsessed son. I’m so pleased with the way it all turned out! It was a brilliant party, and ran smoothly from start to finish. Karol turned up early in order to be completely set up before the guests arrived, and then spent the extra time talking to our 3 children and showing them how all the robots work. We had eight lively 7 year old boys (plus the birthday boy’s older and younger sibling) so ten children in all. We were so impressed by the way that Karol moved around the group, keeping all children on task, helping and supporting them, never getting flustered. The boys were clearly captivated; their focus was remarkable because they were so engaged with the challenge. Once they had finished building their robots, we moved through to the track in order to race them. It was such brilliant fun, with the boys cheering on their own creations and genuinely so excited by it all! Again, Karol handled it all very smoothly – he was calm yet clearly enjoying himself too – it’s lovely to meet a genuine enthusiast! When I asked our son what he would give his LEGO® robot party out of 10, he shouted “TEN!”. We would definitely recommend PrepareRobo and will be back for more.”
~ Hannah, mum, May 2017

“We wanted to thank you both for today’s birthday party. We thought you did an amazing job and I was extremely pleased to see the children so engaged for 2 hours. We had a lot of good feedback and everyone was still talking about their robots during cake time.
Lots of sparkling eyes!!”
~  Caroline, mum, January 2017
