FAQ

Questions parents ask most

Short answers to what comes up most often before a first class.

How much does SmartHub cost?
A trial lesson is a one-time 5,000 ₸: a full 60-minute class with hands-on work on real equipment and a level assessment included. After that, robotics is 45,000 ₸ per month and drone piloting is 36,000 ₸ per month. Current rates are fixed for existing students.
What grades do you accept?
The robotics programme covers Grades 1 to 11 across four levels: Junior (Grades 1–4), Middle (5–7), Master (8–9) and Expert (10–11). The right level is chosen during the trial lesson, which includes the assessment.
Does my child need prior robotics or programming experience?
No. The Junior level starts from the basics — sensors, motors and first programs on LEGO Education WeDo 2.0. Each level builds on the one before it, so a child can start from zero in any grade.
Where are the SmartHub branches?
Five branches in Astana, hosted at Schools № 84, № 17, № 97, № 66 and № 101. One more branch operates in Baku — Innovation Hub Technopark, 55 Nizami Street.
What equipment do students work with?
LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 and SPIKE Prime, Arduino, IoT sensors and racing drones — the same equipment students take to real competitions.
What does the drone programme include?
Two tracks. "Drone management" covers safety, fundamentals and piloting over 3 months. "Drone football" is a team game with strategy and tournament preparation, running year-round.
Do you prepare students for competitions?
Yes — competitive robotics is a track of its own, preparing students for city, national and international tournaments. SmartHub students hold more than 50 international medals across 6 countries, including a world championship in Turkey and the First LEGO League world festival in Houston.
How do I book a trial lesson?
Fill in the form on this page or call us. We reply within 2 hours, match the level and agree a convenient time. The trial lesson commits you to nothing.
What happens at the trial lesson?
It is a full 60-minute class for a one-time 5,000 ₸: an overview of the whole programme, hands-on practice on real equipment, a level assessment and a meeting with the teacher. Afterwards we match the level and a convenient schedule — with no commitment.
What does the 45,000 ₸ monthly plan include?
8 classes a month, access to all programmes, teaching matched to your child's level, competition preparation and access to international tournaments, progress tracking and the parent portal. Drone piloting is a separate plan at 36,000 ₸ per month.
Which competitions do you prepare students for?
World Robot Olympiad (WRO), First LEGO League, Robotek Grand Tournament, Astana Tech Cup, Fibonacci International Robotics Olympiad, VEX IQ and JasSkills drone soccer tournaments. SmartHub students are world champions in Turkey and finalists in Houston, Singapore, South Korea, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Which programming languages do children learn?
The path runs from Scratch to Python. Junior starts with visual programming on LEGO Education WeDo 2.0, Middle and Master build autonomous systems on SPIKE Prime, and Expert programs Arduino, electronics and IoT projects.
