Instructor Development

Training for teachers and adults who want to run robotics themselves. You build the robots first, then learn to teach them.

Training for teachers, instructors and adult learners: hardware fluency, curriculum delivery, classroom safety and assessment.

Why this exists

This is the point where the curriculum, the software and the hardware have to be teachable by somebody who did not write them. If a program cannot survive that handover, it cannot be installed in a school at all.

Who it is for
  • Teachers asked to start a robotics program
  • Instructors joining a school or academy delivering Maple Mind programs
  • Adults who want to teach rather than only build
Choose something else if…

What becomes real.

Capabilities, and how far this program takes each one.

  • Hardware troubleshooting

    Core

    Diagnosing a room full of half-working robots without stopping the session.

  • Curriculum pacing

    Core

    Running a level structure at the speed a real class moves.

  • Assessment and safety

    Core

    Judging what a learner can actually do, and running a lab safely.

  • Classroom robotics management

    Advanced

    Kits, spares, storage and the logistics that decide whether a program survives a term.

How it runs, and who it runs for.

  • Individuals

    Cohort training

  • Schools and organizations

    Brought in-house

    Training your own staff is what the Power Your Team engagement model is built on: you deliver, we supply everything underneath.

What comes with it
  • MindLab Suite and the curriculum library
  • Classroom kits to train on
  • Ongoing support once programs run
What you bring
  • Time across the cohort
  • A willingness to be a beginner before being a teacher
For a school

As the route to running it yourself

For a school that wants ownership rather than a delivered service, this is the program that makes that possible.

Which of these lands on your staff depends on the engagement model: we run it, we run it with you, or you run it.

What it is actually like.

One session, in the order it happens.

Beat 01

Build first

Instructors build the same robots their students will, because you cannot help somebody debug a machine you have never assembled.

  1. Build
  2. Teach
  3. Support
Beat 02

Teach second

Delivery practice with feedback from senior instructors: pacing, when to intervene, and when to let a build fail.

  1. Build
  2. Teach
  3. Support
Beat 03

Support afterwards

Training does not end at the last session; support continues once your program is live and things start breaking.
