«Hexagon» Course for Adults
Every step of the course is a path to creating a unique "Hexagon" project, which you will assemble gradually
With each new detail, component, or piece of code, you will deepen your understanding of processes and technologies
The course is structured so that each element is a logical continuation of the previous one, and knowledge comes through experience and problem-solving
For example: instead of just connecting an IPS display and seeing how it works, we start with a seven-segment display
You will feel its limitations, realize the inconveniences, and only then move on to the IPS display as a solution to the problem
This approach allows you not just to learn about the technology, but to understand its value and learn to apply it in the right situation
Practical approach to programming:
• No dry theory — you will start with the simplest code. For example, you will create a program for a blinking LED, see its limitations, and through errors understand why delays or more complex structures are needed
• All course experiments are built on real tasks that will require you to solve problems, not memorize facts
• The course is focused on deep understanding and practical application of knowledge, which is valuable for those who want to move from theory to real engineering practice
• We don’t waste time on unnecessary details, but show only what is really important for the work
• Participants learn to solve problems encountered in real engineering practice, developing logic, creativity, and self-confidence
💡 22 lessons — this is an engineering journey where each class provides tools for solving new problems

We teach you to understand why a device doesn't work, diagnose and fix malfunctions
We develop engineering thinking:
Anti-Minecraft and Anti-LEGO
LEGO is just assembling ready-made parts according to instructions.
It is impossible to learn real programming through Minecraft
It is impossible to learn real programming through Minecraft
Students create their own devices
The ability to find a project online, replicate it, and most importantly, understand why it didn't work and fix it
Depth of knowledge reaches the level of secondary specialized education
We study Wiring and the basics of C++ — this is the foundation for game and operating system development, automotive engineering, industrial automation
A solid foundation for the child’s future:
real programming
A 60-minute class in a real group —
start for free
You will understand if IXTIRIUM is right for you
start for free
You will understand if IXTIRIUM is right for you
The teacher will give a tour for you and your child: work areas, tools, safety system
The child will get to know the teacher, the atmosphere, and other students
We will tell you about the 2−10 year learning path, the payment system, and answer all your questions
During the trial lesson, the child will assemble several working circuits with their own hands
We will provide each child with a laptop, tools, and textbooks
Understands the basic logic of simple devices
Learns that any device consists of parts, each part has its own role, and the result does not appear "by itself" but thanks to proper assembly
Assembles the first technical models
The child assembles structures,
sees the result of the work,
and understands that complex devices are assembled from understandable parts
sees the result of the work,
and understands that complex devices are assembled from understandable parts
Develops neatness and attentiveness
Learns to follow instructions, not rush, check their work, notice small details, and correct mistakes
Works in a team:
with a mentor and in a group
Listens to explanations, asks questions, learns to wait their turn, discuss solutions
Develops engineering thinking at a simple level
Begins to reason:
why the structure doesn't work, what can be changed, how to make it more stable, stronger, or clearer
why the structure doesn't work, what can be changed, how to make it more stable, stronger, or clearer
The child understands the connection between action and result:
"I did it — it worked"
Learns not to give up on a task if it doesn’t work out immediately
The program is built in stages — first the basics, then complexity and integration of skills into projects
At the start, children work with the equipment available in the club
At the age of 5−7, it is important for us to build a foundation:
— engineering thinking
— ability to follow instructions and drawings
— understanding of simple mechanisms
— neatness
— cause-and-effect relationships
— first steps in programming
— ability to finish the work
At the first stage, electricity construction sets, mechanical metal construction sets, and assembly tasks according to diagrams and drawings are used
In parallel, children get acquainted with programming in a broad sense. These are the first ideas about what an algorithm, sequence of actions, command, condition, signal, and information coding are.
This includes:
— Scratch
— simple logic problems
— an explanation of what Morse code, ciphers, and more are
After that, children move on to Micro:bit
Micro:bit is a real and child-friendly microcontroller. It has LEDs, buttons, sensors, an accelerometer, a speaker, and a microphone. The child will quickly see the result: wrote a program — something lit up, played, reacted to a tilt or a press
The child begins not just to assemble something with their hands, but to program a physical device
Next is the Otto module
Otto is a robot whose parts are printed on a 3D printer: body, head, arms, legs. Children receive plastic parts, servomotors, and electronic components, assemble the robot, program it, and bring it to working condition
In the end, it is already a full-fledged little robot: with arms and legs, assembled from printed parts, controlled by a program — including via Bluetooth

In the middle group, children delve deeper into electronics and begin to assemble real circuits
Transition from "I just assembled it" to "I understand what is happening"
Gets acquainted with basic electronic components
Works with resistors, LEDs, photoresistors, and simple circuits
Understands cause-and-effect relationships in electronics
The child sees how changes in the toperation of one element affect the behavior of the tentire system
Works confidently with a breadboard
Understands how to place elements on the breadboard, how to connect the circuit with wires, and why it is important to maintain the correct arrangement of parts
Gains their first hands-on experience with soldering
Gets acquainted with the soldering iron and safety rules. The task is neatness, attentiveness, and calm work with hands
Learns to find errors in the circuit
This forms an important skill: not to give up and not to panic, but to calmly look for the cause. The mentor helps
Independently assembles according to schematic diagrams
Begins to understand why the circuit works. He sees the result: the LED lights up, changes brightness, or reacts to light
The program is built in stages — first the basics, then complexity and integration of skills into projects
In Middle, children start with the basics of electronics:
breadboard, printed circuit boards, LEDs, resistors, transistors, wires, and other basic components
At this stage, children learn:
— read simple schematic diagrams
— assemble circuits on a breadboard
— understand why resistors, LEDs, transistors, and other elements are needed
— solder parts onto printed circuit boards
— strip wires
— work carefully with hands
— find errors in assembly
— understand why the circuit works or does not work
💡 Instead of "I just plugged the wire where I was told," the young engineer says: "I understand WHAT I am assembling, why this element is needed, and why the current flows this way"
The stage of BEAM robots without a programmable part. Without Arduino and code — the robot’s behavior is based on electronics
For example, one of the first robots is a light-controlled robot. It uses transistors and photoresistors. If you shine a flashlight on one side, one motor starts working; if on the other side, the other one starts. As a result, it seems that the robot follows the flashlight beam
In this block, children assemble several robots:
— a robot that reacts to light
— a security robot
— a line-following robot
— an obstacle-avoiding robot
💡 This is a very useful stage because the child sees that even without programming, you can create device behavior.
The child no longer just lights an LED but assembles a robot that moves and reacts to the environment
The next stage — we assemble programmable robots
First, the child assembles a program from blocks and understands the logic: condition, action, loop, signal from the sensor, motor control
Then the guys move on to Arduino: they write programs in the Arduino IDE in C++, using the Wiring framework and mastering variables, functions, conditions, loops, and other basic programming constructs
We assemble:
— a robot that finds its way out of a maze
— a robot controlled by an IR remote control
Next, we study the 3D modeling block and the final project
☝️ It is important to understand that the Middle course at a normal pace takes about 2 years. The child goes through electronics, BEAM robots, Arduino, programming, 3D modeling, and the final project

In the Senior group, the child learns to see the device not as a set of parts, but as a controlled system
Gains first experience in programming devices
Works with a microcontroller: changes parameters, sees how the code affects the device’s behavior
Works confidently with electronic components
Can read schematic diagrams, assemble them on a breadboard, and can check the operation
Understands the structure of a simple electronic device
Sees the device not as a set of parts, but as a system: power supply, input signal, processing, output result
Masters basic soldering
Solders connections and elements, monitors the quality of the contact, does not overheat parts, and works carefully with the board
Learns to connect electronics, soldering, and code
Understands that a finished device consists of parts: a correctly assembled circuit, reliable connections, and a program that controls the device’s behavior
Brings the project to a working result
Goes through the full cycle: assemble, solder, test, correct, improve, and show the result
In Senior, the guys will solder, drill, work with a 3D printer, program in a high-level language, and understand electronics
💡 For example:
we connected an LED to Arduino — immediately we discuss what an LED is, why a resistor is needed, how the current flows, why you can’t connect it "any old way."
Right away we write code to make this LED turn on, blink, or react to a condition
In this block, the guys assemble several robots:
— a robot that finds its way out of a maze
— a robot controlled by an IR remote control
— a robot controlled via Bluetooth
— a weather station

Project is a "special interest" club
The next stage for those who have completed the main levels
Transition from learning "at the board" to independent work
Everyone works on their own project in the DIY concept
The teacher acts as a mentor and consultant
DIY is an abbreviation of the slogan "Do it Yourself"
95% of students move on
to the next level of education:
high interest and engagement
Egor, at the age of 9, assembled a robot that moves towards light
Nikita, at the age of 10, created a smart trash can that opens when you bring your hand to it
Vladimir is 9 years old, and he tells how he created a robot that is controlled by an IR remote control. He also shares his dreams and plans for the future
Vladimir, 9, built IR robot, shares dreams
Kristina is 9 years old and she is preparing a tracked robot for competitions
Egor, at the age of 9, is already creating a smart watch and dreams of working at BMW
Arseniy is 10 years old and he is creating a robot car that navigates a maze
He figured out how the sensor works, why a transistor is needed, why the motor starts to rotate, and how a device with understandable behavior is made from individual components
He invented the device, assembled it, set it up, tested it, and improved it — this is how engineering thinking is formed
In the video, the student is setting up the remote control, receiver, and control board so that the robot can go forward, backward, turn, and stop
The robot is equipped with a fire, gas, temperature sensor and a display: it can move, receive information from the environment, and show data to the user
The child sees that the code controls a real device — a watch that can be refined, configured, and turned into a full-fledged project
The robot orients itself in space: it notices obstacles and goes around them. If it runs into a wall, we look for the error and fix it

We are guided by the principle of "small victory": at each lesson, the child should get a visible, completed result (something blinked, moved, lit up).
Course of the lesson: review of previous material, theory, main practical part, break (tea, cookies, watching a thematic video), continuation of practice.
The transition from module to module is seamless, so children do not have time to forget what they have already learned

We understand your concerns. Therefore, we always focus on the group’s pace of progress. A "floating" number of lessons is allotted for each topic.
If your child is falling behind the group, the mentors try to give them more time and attention. If, on the contrary, they are bored with the group — we will transfer them to a stronger class
