Why Robotschool exists
Robotschool Namibia was created because children need more than screen time. They need guided, practical experiences where they learn how technology works, how to solve problems, and how to create with confidence.
Many children are naturally curious. They want to build, test, question, take things apart, and understand how the world works. Robotschool gives that curiosity a structured place to grow.
Our goal is not only to teach robotics or coding.
Our goal is to help children become confident problem-solvers, creative thinkers, and practical technology users who are better prepared for the future.
How we teach
Our classes are built around practical learning. Each session is approximately 80% hands-on work and 20% theory, so children do not only hear about technology, they build, code, test, fail, improve, and understand it through experience.
Learners work with real equipment, real builds, and structured challenges. They follow guided instructions, work with instructors, solve problems step by step, and receive feedback as they progress.
Classes are small and instructor-led, which allows us to support each child, encourage teamwork, and help learners build confidence at their own pace.
Founded in 2018
Robotschool Namibia started from a simple belief: children learn best when they are allowed to make, test, explore, and try again.
Our founder, Bjorn Wiedow, has always believed that practical learning can unlock confidence in children. Robotschool was built to give young learners a space where big ideas are welcomed, mistakes are part of the process, and technology becomes something they can understand and create with, not just consume.
Since 2018, Robotschool has grown into a practical learning environment where children develop robotics, coding, engineering, design, creativity, teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving skills.
Meet the Team
Our team combines technical knowledge, practical experience, and a strong commitment to mentoring young learners with patience, care, and high standards.
