HMGICS is launching the Spot Robot Coding Workshop. This new program introduces children aged 6 to 12 to the fundamentals of robotics and coding, encouraging early engagement with the technologies shaping tomorrow's mobility.
This marks HMGICS's second education initiative for children following the successful introduction of its Smart Food Lab workshop in June 2025. The Spot Robot Coding Workshop provides an opportunity for older children to experience how coding brings robots to life, showcasing how technology like Spot - a four-legged, dog-like robot developed by Boston Dynamics - supports real-world applications today.
During the 90-minute session, each child will be guided to build and code a miniature robot inspired by Spot. They will learn how simple commands can help the robot complete everyday tasks that improve human convenience and efficiency.
Beginning on 13 September 2025, the workshop will run every Saturday and Sunday at 10:00am and 04:00pm, alongside the Smart Food Lab sessions at 10:30am and 04:30pm. Each session accommodates up to eight children and costs $25 per child. All proceeds will be donated to the President’s Challenge, supporting community initiatives in Singapore.
Interested families can register via this link. As spaces are limited, early registration is recommended. The Spot Robot Coding Workshop complements the HMGICS Discovery Tour, which offers the public immersive experiences such as a VR factory tour, Skytrack rides, and the Smart Farm's seed-to-table journey.
