Robotics education blends science, engineering, and creativity, empowering students to become innovators and problem-solvers in a rapidly advancing world. Learning robotics at an early stage strengthens logical thinking, collaboration, and applied technology skills.
Understanding its future relevance, the Forces School System has introduced Robotics as a core subject in its Skill Enhance Program for Grades 5 to 7. The curriculum has been thoughtfully designed to gradually teach students about robotics components, functions, programming basics, and project building — ensuring a strong foundation in both hardware and logical control systems.
The program is supported through curriculum, videos, and hands-on workshops developed by the Head Office to ensure all franchise campuses can successfully implement robotics in a classroom or lab-based setting.
