Steyp UAE, questions institutions and parents ask

Accepted Answer

School programs run for ages 8-17 and college programs for ages 18 and over. Junior School programs are for ages 8-12, Senior School programs for ages 13-17, and College and University programs for ages 18 and over. A learner is placed in the band that matches their age rather than the one that matches the program picked on the form.

Question 3

How is a Steyp program structured?

Accepted Answer

Every program starts with a Discovery Workshop, then progresses through three levels. Discovery Workshop (3-4 hrs), a first hands-on session for a full class. Level 1 (18-24 hrs), foundations: core skills through guided projects. Level 2 (18-24 hrs), applied: harder systems and team challenges. Level 3 (18-24 hrs), capstone: an original project, prototype or pitch. Every level follows the same five stages: objectives and a skills checklist, a session-by-session plan, practical exercises and mini challenges, project deliverables and a final demonstration, and completion criteria against the Level 3 capstone rubric.

Question 4

What does Steyp provide, and what does the institution provide?

Accepted Answer

Steyp provides program design, curriculum, trainers and facilitators, robotics equipment, AI learning activities, session plans, assessments, capstone structure, certificates, student engagement, program operations, progress reporting and event execution. Reporting is provided where the proposal contracts for it. Unless the proposal says otherwise, the institution or venue provides a suitable room with power and a workable layout, internet access where the program needs it, laptops or devices where the proposal makes them the institution's responsibility, secure storage for kits between sessions, access for trainers and equipment at the agreed times, the class list and any safety or accessibility information before the first session, supervising staff, first aid and emergency procedures in line with its own policy, and parental consent for participation and for photography.

Question 5

What is the trainer to student ratio?

Accepted Answer

Junior School (1 : 10-12), one facilitator per 10-12 students. Senior School (1 : 12-15), one facilitator per 12-15 students. College (1 : 15), one facilitator per 15 students. These ratios apply unless the proposal agrees otherwise.

Question 6

How can a Steyp program be delivered?

Accepted Answer

There are 8 delivery formats. Discovery Workshops, 2-4 hour entry experiences. Innovation Days, one-day activations for high student participation. 12-Session Cohorts, structured Level 1, 2 or 3 programs. Term Academies, integrated into a school term or university semester. Camps & Bootcamps, multi-day intensives for holidays and breaks. Innovation Challenges, team challenges ending in demos or pitches. Startup Accelerators, idea-to-MVP programs for senior and university learners. Academic-Year Pathway, three terms, three levels, one capstone showcase.

Question 7

Is Steyp KHDA approved?

Accepted Answer

Steyp Education and Training LLC is based in Dubai and operates with KHDA approval in Dubai for its permitted activities. KHDA is a Dubai authority. For engagements outside Dubai, delivery is structured according to the applicable local and contracting-institution requirements. For eligible Dubai programs and certificates, KHDA attestation may be available in accordance with applicable requirements.

Question 8

What certificate do participants receive?

Accepted Answer

Certificates are issued to participants who meet the completion criteria set for the level, which is normally attendance together with the required exercises and, at Level 3, the capstone. A certificate records the participant name, the program and level, the completion date and a unique certificate identifier. Selected credentials carry a QR verification. External technology certification is included only where a formal partner pathway applies to the specific program.

Question 9

Can a parent register a child directly, without going through a school?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Steyp runs open cohorts for individual learners: school students aged 8-17, and college students aged 18 and over. An open cohort runs the identical program an institution commissions, with the same trainers and nothing thinned out, robotics kit supplied for the session, and one facilitator per 10-15 students. A registration submitted through this site is an expression of interest and does not reserve a place. Steyp comes back with the dates, venue and fees for a cohort, and a place is confirmed only when Steyp confirms it in writing and the fee for that cohort is paid. No payment is taken on this site. Where the learner is under 18, the parent or legal guardian registers them and is responsible for the fee.

Question 10

How much does a Steyp program cost?

Accepted Answer

No fee is published anywhere on this site, for institutions or for individual learners. Fees vary with cohort size, program format, equipment requirement, venue and partnership model. Fees are set in the written proposal for an institutional engagement, and in the written cohort confirmation for a direct registration. Submitting an enquiry or a registration costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Question 11

Where has Steyp delivered programs in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

Steyp publishes 6 delivered UAE programs, each at a named venue: Robotics Workshop at Al Nahda, Dubai; AI Awareness Program at Al Nahda, Dubai; Robotics Program at Granada Hall, Rayan Hotel, Sharjah; Robotics Workshop at House of Wisdom, Sharjah; Robotics, 2-Week Summer Program at LearnGate, Dubai; Robotics Workshop at Ajman Free Zone, Ajman. Steyp offers programs to institutions across the UAE and to every country outside India, and publishes no delivered program outside Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.

Question 12

Which institutions does Steyp work with?

Accepted Answer

Steyp works with schools, colleges, universities, government, free zones, youth organisations, community partners and venue partners. The buyer is an organisation commissioning a program for its own students, and a parent or adult learner can also register directly into an open cohort.

Question 13

Can programs be mapped to our curriculum framework?

Accepted Answer

Steyp can map program outcomes to the institution's learning priorities, and program-specific mapping can be developed for institutions using the UK, IB, American or CBSE frameworks.

Question 14

What language are programs delivered in?

Accepted Answer

English is the standard delivery language. Depending on the engagement and trainer availability, Steyp can support Arabic-supported delivery, bilingual facilitation and additional language support. The delivery language is agreed before contracting.
