Their First LEGO® Machine Starts Here
A hands-on LEGO® Education program designed specially for young builders aged 3–5.
Before coding robots, children need to understand how things move, connect and work.
At Cubotics Chennai, our Early Simple Machines pathway introduces young children to gears, wheels, axles, levers, pulleys and movement through guided, hands-on building.
What is Early Simple Machines?
It's not just LEGO. It's their first introduction to engineering.
At ages 3–5, children don't need complicated coding. They need to touch, build, move, test and discover.
Using LEGO Education learning materials, children begin exploring the simple mechanical concepts that make the world work.
LEGO Education's own Early Simple Machines lessons introduce concepts including gears, forces, levers, pivots, pulleys, motion, cause and effect and fair testing.
Why Start at 3?
Because the foundation comes before the robot.
At 3–5, your child is developing the exact skills that make future robotics learning possible.
Fine Motor Skills
Picking, connecting and manipulating pieces.
Hand-Eye Coordination
Learning to position and connect parts accurately.
Spatial Thinking
Understanding size, position, movement and structure.
Cause & Effect
'What happens when I turn this gear?'
Problem Solving
'What can I change to make it work?'
Confidence
Building something independently and explaining how it works.
From First Build → Future Robotics
Your child's LEGO journey can grow with them.

Robotics & Engineering
Motors • Sensors • Mechanical Design
Advanced Robotics
Coding • AI Foundations • Challenges
WRO • WSRO • FLL
STEM & robotics competitions
Important: We don't promise a 3-year-old will become WRO-ready. We offer a pathway toward competitions as they progress.
The Learning Cycle
What happens in a 60-minute session?
Warm Up
Connect the day's concept to something familiar.
Meet the Parts
Explore the LEGO pieces and understand what they do.
Build
Create a working machine or project.
Explain
Your child tells us how their creation works.
Reflect
What worked? What didn't? What could we change?
Reset
Sort, organize and prepare for the next challenge.
A 16-Session Journey
Not a new random LEGO project every week.
Your child progresses through a structured curriculum where each session builds on concepts introduced earlier.
By the end of the program, your child has experienced a variety of mechanisms, builds and challenges rather than simply attending disconnected activity classes.
What your child experiences across 16 sessions
- ✓Gears that change speed and direction
- ✓Wheels and axles that move loads
- ✓Levers, pivots and balance
- ✓Pulleys that lift and lower
- ✓Structures that stand strong
- ✓Cause, effect and fair testing
- ✓Building independently and explaining their work
Who Teaches Your Child?
Young children need educators who understand young children.
Our sessions are designed for early learners, with trained facilitators who understand how to engage young children through hands-on exploration.
If your staff are genuinely Montessori/ECCE trained, put that prominently here — but only say "Montessori-trained and ECCE-trained" if that is true for the actual facilitators conducting these sessions.
Why Cubotics?
Because LEGO is the medium. Learning is the outcome.
