LEGO® Robotics
Find your crowd, Spark your creativity, Have fun!
Looking for something fun to do at the weekend? At The Saturday Space you can build, code and operate LEGO® robots.
Right now, our club is focusing on LEGO® , but in the future, we may explore other exciting themes too
What will I do?
Each week, you’ll follow simple instructions to design and build your own LEGO® robots and make them move! You can work on your own or team up with others – whatever feels best for you. It’s not about being perfect – it’s all about trying new activities and having fun.
Why should I join?
We keep things small – only 12 young people – so you’ll get lots of support and space to enjoy yourself. Whether you’re building robots or just exploring what works, The Saturday Space is all about fun and creativity. You can take things at your own pace. There’s no pressure to make friends, but if you do, that’s awesome!
How can I join?
To get the most out of it, you’ll need to book for all 5 sessions. Don’t worry if you’re new to this—just come ready to explore, enjoy, and have fun!

FAQ for you (young people)
Not sure if The Saturday Space is for you?
If you’re unsure about joining, our taster session on Saturday 1st March is the perfect way to try out what we do! It’s a chance to explore, ask questions, and see if The Saturday Space feels right for you. You’ll get to meet the team, try a little bit of building and coding, and see how we work—all in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
You can bring a parent or carer with you at the start to help you settle in. After a little while, they’ll step out so you can experience the group independently, but they’ll come back for the last 30 minutes to check in and ask any questions.
If you enjoy the taster session, you can then sign up for the full series of five further sessions. We know trying new things can feel like a big step, so we’ll be there to support you every step of the way
What will happen on Saturdays?
1pm – Arrive & settle in
When you arrive, you’ll have time to get settled. Our team will help you set up, and you’ll get building at tables in pairs. You can also choose to work alone if that’s what you prefer.
Throughout the day
You’ll follow simple instructions to create your robot, and our team will be around to help if you need it. Take your time and enjoy the process!
1:55pm – Break time
We’ll take a 10-minute break halfway through the session. There’ll be soft music to let you know it’s time to relax. You can move around, grab a drink or chill out on one of the bean bags.
2:05pm – Back to building
After the break, you’ll get back to your robot, finish building it and get it moving! Our team will be there if you need ideas or help.
2:45pm – Show & tell
We’ll all show each other what we’ve built. You can share your robot and see what everyone else has made.
2:55pm Before you leave
Before you leave, we’ll ask you to share a quick bit of feedback about what you enjoyed. This helps us keep things fun and fresh!
How can I share info about what helps support me ?
We want to make sure you have a great time, so we ask you to fill out a short form about yourself. This helps us understand how to support you.
You can ask someone to help you complete the form if you want, and you’ll be able to update it anytime.
Who are the staff?
We’ve teamed up with Logiscool, whose staff bring tech and coding expertise—you’ll meet Leon and Zaqwan, who will guide you through the digital side of things. Alongside them, we have two experienced Youth Workers, Jack and Jim, who are there to support you, keep things running smoothly, and make sure everyone feels welcome.
You may also see other staff from time to time. Janette is our CEO—she’s the person who makes things happen! She’s also neurodivergent herself, so she brings a lot of lived experience to the group.
All our staff are paid and trained, so you’ll always have a friendly, knowledgeable team to support you. We think this mix of skills makes for a great group—whether you’re into coding, building, or just curious to see what it’s all abou
What happens after the five sessions?
Once the first 5-week series of sessions is finished, there will be a 13-week series for the summer term. These sessions will be held on the following Saturdays:
26th April
3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th May
7th, 14th, 21st & 28th June
5th, 12th, 19th & 26th July
We’ll ask that you commit to attending the whole summer-term series if you decide to join. It’s all about building on what you’ve already created and continuing the fun!
Info for parents and carers
We’re excited that your young person is interested in joining The Saturday Space! We want to make sure both you and your young person feel comfortable and informed. Below are some key points to help you understand how everything works.
Taster session
We ask that you sign up for the taster session on the understanding that your young person will be committing to the full 5-week series if they decide to continue. The taster session is a no-pressure way to check things out and see if The Saturday Space is a good fit.
Payment for the series
Payment for the full series of 5 sessions will be required after the taster session. Each session costs £15, so the total for the 5-week series is £75. We ask that you pay for the full series upfront to ensure your young person’s place.
If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We understand that everyone’s situation is different, and we may be able to offer support. Please get in touch, and we’ll do our best to help.
FAQ for parents/Carers
Who is The Saturday Space for?
The Saturday Space is a youth club designed for neurodivergent young people aged 10–16 who are of mainstream ability but may need extra support to succeed in social situations. We aim to provide a fun, supportive space for young people to explore and be imaginative, but please note that this group is not intended for those who need complex levels of support or one-to-one assistance. We encourage young people who are looking for an environment where they can develop their creativity, enjoy activities at their own pace and grow their social skills.
What is the purpose of the taster session?
The taster session is a chance for your young person to explore the group and activity, ask questions, and see what The Saturday Space is all about—without any commitment. If they enjoy it and feel comfortable, you can choose to sign them up for the full series.
You’re welcome to stay for the first part of the session to help them settle in. After that, we ask parents and carers to step out so they can experience the group independently. You’ll be invited back for the last 30 minutes to hear how it went, ask questions, and chat with our team.
We understand that transitions can be challenging, so we’ll be there every step of the way to ensure they feel safe, supported, and comfortable.
How do I sign up for the taster session?
You can sign up for the taster session online through our registration form. Once your young person has attended the taster session and decided they’d like to continue, we’ll ask you to confirm their place for the full 5-week series
Is there a cost for the taster session?
No, the taster session is free! After attending, if your young person decides to continue with the full series, we’ll ask for payment for the 5-week block (a total of £75).
What happens if my young person can’t make it to a session?
If your young person misses a session, just let us know. We understand that things can come up, and we’ll work with you to ensure they can still get the most out of the experience.
Can my young person attend without a formal diagnosis?
Yes, your young person can attend even without a formal diagnosis. While The Saturday Space is intended for young people who are of mainstream ability, we welcome neurodivergent young people who need extra support in social situations, regardless of whether they have an official diagnosis.
How do you support neurodivergent young people?
The Saturday Space is designed to be inclusive and supportive of neurodivergent young people who are of mainstream ability but may need extra support in social situations. We aim to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable exploring new activities and building confidence. While the group is not intended for those who require intensive one-on-one support, we ensure each young person gets the attention they need within the group setting.
To help us provide the best experience, we ask for as much detail as possible about each young person’s needs and preferences when they sign up. Our team carefully reviews this information to understand how to best support them.
We also maintain a high staff-to-young-person ratio, with each young person allocated to a Youth Worker who will be the main lead for a group of six. This ensures they have a consistent point of contact who understands their needs and can support them throughout the sessions.
Who are the staff?
Our team is made up of skilled and experienced staff, ensuring young people feel supported both socially and in their activities.
- Leon and Zaqwan from Logiscool bring expertise in tech and coding, helping young people explore digital creativity.
- Jack and Jim, our experienced Youth Workers, focus on supporting young people socially and emotionally, making sure they feel comfortable and included.
- Janette, our CEO, is the person who makes things happen! She is also neurodivergent, bringing valuable lived experience and insight to the group.
- You may also see other staff from time to time.
We’ve also worked closely with our colleagues from two charitable organisations in Berkshire—The Autism Group and Parenting Special Children—learning from their successes and lived experiences to shape the group. Additionally, we’ve collaborated with neurodivergent young people, parents, and carers to refine the finer details, ensuring the group truly meets the needs of those who attend.
All our staff are paid and well-trained, ensuring consistency and a high-quality experience for young people. While volunteers play an important role in many settings, we’ve chosen a fully staffed approach to provide the best possible support.
I have further questions. Can I speak with someone before signing up for the taster session?
Yes, absolutely! We welcome any additional questions or comments—we believe parents and carers know their young people best, and we want to make sure this is the right group for them.
If you’d like to have a chat with us before signing up, please email us – [email protected] and we’ll arrange a time to talk. We’re happy to answer any questions and help you decide if The Saturday Space is a good fit for your young person.
Why do you charge if you are a not-for-profit?
As a charitable, not-for-profit organisation, all the money we receive goes directly into running The Saturday Space and ensuring it provides the best experience for young people. Our fees help cover essential costs such as equipment, staffing, insurance, and other core costs needed to keep the group running safely and effectively.
We’re fortunate to receive some support through staff donations from another organisation (Loigscool), which helps us keep costs lower. However, we don’t rely solely on volunteers—all other staff are paid and trained professionals, ensuring a consistent and high-quality experience.
We also made the decision not to rely solely on grants to fund the group. While grant funding can be helpful, it is often short-term and unpredictable, which can make it difficult to provide long-term stability. Charging a fee allows us to create a sustainable, reliable service that families can count on.
We work hard to keep costs as low as possible, and if a family is struggling financially, we encourage them to reach out—we may be able to help.
