Cobot courses for ages 11 to 18 (grades 6 to 12)

Cobot Courses are for ages 11 to 18 (grades 6 to 12). Students start with the 2-hour Hexkit Cobot Competition, in separate Middle School and High School brackets, then the Middle School track (Levels 1 to 5) or the High School Advanced track (Bridge, then Levels 6 to 10). Each level ends with a certificate of completion that unlocks the next. The work is robotics engineering on a real industrial cobot, including a path for a competitive high school robotics team.

No. Sessions are supervised and structured. Parents get clear info when workshops open. You don’t need to be an engineer to join the waitlist for your student.

No. Curiosity and willingness to work with tools matter more. We’ll meet students where they are.

Students ages 11 to 18 (grades 6 to 12) work on a real 6-axis industrial cobot, with teach pendant time, not a laptop-only camp. Each course level ends with a certificate of completion that unlocks the next.

Yes. US chip and GPU plants are a new manufacturing era. Their clean rooms use cobots for a lot of the careful, repeated handling, the work a person in a full suit does slowly. HEXKIT ACADEMY does not train students for a fab and does not offer a clean-room credential. Class time is supervised time on a real cobot.

Safety comes before motion. Every student passes a safety gate, including the three-ways-to-stop drill, before touching the arm. The cell runs with speed and force limits, emergency stops, and marked robot envelopes. Groups stay small, and the instructor stays with them the whole time. Parents may drop off and pick up according to the schedule, or wait in the waiting area.

No. Parents can drop off and pick up their student according to the schedule. If a parent prefers to stay, they can wait in the waiting area for the whole duration.

Courses are for ages 11 to 18 (grades 6 to 12). No prior robotics or coding experience is required to start. A competitive high school robotics team is a strong fit. College students ages 18 to 22 can join the waitlist for a weekend workshop.

Closed-toe shoes, hair tied back, no dangling jewelry or loose sleeves. We provide the equipment. Just bring your student.

Their own robot program files, a demo video of it running on the real arm, and a Cobot Foundations certificate of completion for their portfolio. The certificate is not an accredited credential and is not college credit.

We confirm every date 5 days before it starts. If a date doesn't fill, you choose: move to the next weekend, house credit for any upcoming course, or a full refund.

Full refund if you cancel at least 14 days before the session; 50% or a free transfer 7-13 days out; inside 7 days tuition is non-refundable but transfers once to a later session free. If we cancel, you get a full refund. A missing signed waiver is refunded separately. Details: Refund policy.
