Parent guide
Will my son find a job?
For parents of students ages 11 to 18 (grades 6 to 12).
Hands-on time cannot hand over a paycheck. The hopeful part is still solid. When robots and Super Intelligence (SI) take the dull tasks, robotics engineering still has to repair the cobot, program it, and deploy it. SI is what most people still call AI. That is the work behind competitive robotics teams and later robotics engineering.
HEXKIT ACADEMY is not a placement office. Students ages 11 to 18 (grades 6 to 12) start at Courses. A son or a daughter can start the hands-on part there. The job comes later, from more practice, school, and whatever credential that specific work requires.
Jobs that need the room, not only the screen
The skills that stay are practical. Repair a joint. Program the arm and watch it run. Decide how a cell should work. SI can repeat the dull loop. The person supplies the skill, and the skill includes having used their hands. A laptop course can name the robot. Time on the machine is the first proof, the same proof a high-school robotics team can use. That time is not a fab job and not line work.
What hands-on time can start
The question often arrives as "my son." Daughters are in the same room. Students ages 11 to 18 (grades 6 to 12) start at Courses, including the Hexkit Cobot Competition waitlist. No prior robotics or coding class is required. Curiosity and a safety habit matter more than a head start. Mr. Kassem has over 20 years of industrial experience and an electrical and electronics engineering degree, and he stays in the room. That background shapes how he teaches. It does not make an employer call.
Treat the first hands-on rep as a start, then keep going: more time on real equipment, school, and the license or degree a specific path asks for. That first rep makes the next step less abstract. If the fear at home is the machine taking the work, read is AI taking our jobs.
Students ages 11 to 18 (grades 6 to 12) can join the Hexkit Cobot Competition waitlist. It is a 2-hour event. Every competitor gets hands-on robot time. Details coming soon.
