THINK · BUILD · LEAD

Huminder character illustration

The Huminders community

Build the robot.Develop the person.

Confidence. Character. An entrepreneurial mindset. Children build and code LEGO robots, investigate problems and share their ideas. Along the way, they practise teamwork, persistence and taking responsibility.

Our younger Huminders learn to ask useful questions, test a solution, explain its value and listen to others — early foundations for entrepreneurial thinking and responsible leadership.

For parents and carers

Ambition, with a clear commitment.

Two teams. One shared ambition.

20 programme places, organised as two teams of 10. Children prepare for FIRST LEGO League Challenge through robot building and coding, an innovation project and teamwork.

Both teams share the Humind approach: THINK, BUILD and LEAD. Team allocation and competition arrangements will be discussed before enrolment.

The weekly commitment

Starts 1 November 2026. Weekly session day and time to be announced. Training continues during school holidays.

  2. As the team preparesTraining time increases. The timetable after the first three months is still to be confirmed.
  3. Before important competitionsTraining may rise to 8 hours a week during preparation periods. This is a possible peak, not the regular weekly timetable.

The weekly session slot and expected home-study workload will be confirmed before enrolment.

How we develop skills, character and leadership

Young people work through structured video learning at their own pace. The coach checks understanding and helps them apply technical learning to a shared challenge.

  1. THINK · An entrepreneurial mindsetIdentify problems, question assumptions, test ideas and explain the value of a solution.
  2. BUILD · Capability and characterDevelop robotics and coding skills while practising discipline, taking responsibility and working through setbacks.
  3. LEAD · Confidence and positive impactPresent ideas, listen to others, make responsible decisions and help the team move forward.

Our aim is to help young people grow into capable entrepreneurs and future leaders who contribute positively to their communities.

Who is behind the programme?

Led by Coach Ahmed Elkady and managed by Humind Lab Ai Impact CIC, FIRST LEGO League Challenge is a not-for-profit community programme, helping to build our first Huminders community.
