Become a mentor

You run it.
We certify it.

The programme is for anyone who wants to run MoBot workshops: teachers, workshop leaders, engineering students, independent trainers.

The programme

What certification gives you

A stated skill

Your level is publicly verifiable by a code, like the kits.

Workshop material

Kits, guides and teaching material, on loan or at trainer pricing depending on grade.

Workshops to run

MoBot passes on the requests it receives in your wilaya.

A public entry

Your name in the trainer directory, if you want it there.

Certification

Two axes, one title

Your certification reads on two independent axes: what you can teach, and at what age. Your title follows from both — it is never entered by hand.

What you can teach

Each badge covers one kit and one language. The first requires no programming at all.

App

MoBot App — Mini

Runs a session with the Smart Car Mini, with no programming at all: kit assembly, app control, preset modes.

The ages you teach

One clearance per age band, independent of the badges.

Ages 5–6

Nurseries and preschool. Short sessions, guided handling, no reading required.

Ages 7–10

Primary school. Independent assembly, first logic concepts, block programming.

Ages 11–14

Middle school. Moving from blocks to written code, guided multi-session projects.

Ages 15 and over

High school and beyond. Independent projects, written code, competition preparation.
