01 / THE CONCEPT

THIS IS NOT A COURSE.
IT'S A LAB.

Future Skills Lab is a one-day immersive workshop where you use English as the working language while learning programming fundamentals, coding real robots, solving challenges, working in teams and presenting your solutions.

✗ A traditional English course

✗ A traditional coding course

✓ Both — inside one practical, competitive experience

No previous coding or robotics experience is required. You only need curiosity, motivation, basic conversational English and the willingness to jump in. Practical, social and competitive — not academic.

// REAL EXAMPLE, REAL ROBOT:

IF distance < 15cm
    → TURN RIGHT
ELSE
    → MOVE FORWARD

That single condition is the heart of the Obstacle Avoidance challenge. You'll write it, upload it, watch your robot obey it.

17 / FAQ

QUESTIONS,
DEBUGGED.

Do I need coding experience?

No. The workshop starts from programming fundamentals — "never coded before" is exactly who this is built for.

Do I need robotics experience?

No. You'll meet the robot, learn its anatomy and control it step by step.

What English level do I need?

Basic to average conversational English is recommended. The point is practice, not perfection.

Is the workshop entirely in English?

Yes. English is the main working language, with supportive mentoring throughout the day.

Do I need a laptop?

You should bring one if possible because you will personally practice coding. If you don't have one, tell us in the form — access may be shared.

What is included?

Robotics equipment, all activities, lunch, coffee, workshop materials and a Certificate of Participation.

How much does it cost?

3000 DZD — a symbolic all-inclusive participation fee.

How do I confirm my place?

Register on this page, pay via BaridiMob and send your receipt through WhatsApp. Your seat is locked once the receipt is verified.

Is payment refundable?

Refund / cancellation policy: to be confirmed by organizer.

How many places are available?

Only 20 — the lab is intentionally small so every participant codes, builds and competes.
