Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about kits, coding compatibility, school curricula, and technical support.

StemSpace kits and learning paths are designed for children aged 6 to 16. Our kits are categorized into three structured tiers: Explorer (ages 6–9), Innovator (ages 8–13), and Ultimate & Add-ons (ages 10–16). Each level is carefully tailored to fine motor skills and cognitive readiness.

Not at all! Every kit starts from absolute zero. Children begin with friendly, drag-and-drop graphical blocks where code blocks snap together like puzzle pieces. As confidence blossoms, they naturally graduate into text-based Python programming.

Quarky is StemSpace's flagship, playful programmable robot controller. Powered by high-speed dual microprocessors, it features a 35 RGB LED matrix display, built-in speaker, touch and light sensors, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, rechargeable battery, and plug-and-play motor/servo ports.

Yes! StemSpace provides dual-mode learning. You can code Quarky using our intuitive visual block environment or toggle directly into native Python 3 with our rich Python library, code auto-completion, and real-time serial monitor.

The StemSpace coding software runs smoothly on Windows, macOS, Chromebooks, Linux, iPads, and Android tablets. You can connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or using the included USB-C cable.

Yes! We supply complete Turnkey STEM & AI Lab setups to elementary, middle, and high schools globally. This includes classroom kit bundles, grade-aligned lesson plans, teacher certification workshops, and ongoing pedagogical support.
