Workshop Outcome
What your child takes home
Coding and Engineering Certificate and Prizes
Recognizing hands-on work with coding, Wi-Fi controls, circuits, motors, and troubleshooting.
A clear understanding of how the system works
Students learn how the code, Wi-Fi controls, electronics, power, and movement connect, not just how to follow instructions.
Why Sparks Lab Kids
Coding for Kids With Real Hardware
Families searching for coding classes, robotics classes, engineering classes, or a STEM summer program near Hang Dong can start here. The project stays focused: students learn typed code and then use it to control real hardware.
Real Coding, Real Languages
Students write C++ for the microcontroller and HTML/CSS/JS for the browser control page, not drag-and-drop blocks.
Wi-Fi Makes It Remote
Students code a Wi-Fi access point and browser interface so the car responds to commands from any device.
Electronics Makes It Real
Circuits, motors, and wiring give the code a physical system to control, so students see why each component matters.
A Working Project to Keep
Every student finishes with a working Wi-Fi controlled RC car they built, coded, and can explain with confidence.
Meet the Instructor
Meet August Selke
Our instructor brings hands-on experience in coding, electronics, robotics, and project-based learning. Students are guided step by step as they build, test, debug, and customize their own Wi-Fi controlled RC car.
August Selke
August grew up in the United States and studied at the University of Washington. He brings an American, mastery-focused learning style to the classroom, where students are encouraged to make mistakes without fear and to truly understand how things work, instead of just repeating what they're taught.
- Experience
- Multiple university hackathons (a winner at his own university), years of hands-on Arduino and electronics work, and coding across many programming languages. Has designed and built many websites.
- Teaching
- Taught a STEM workshop in Bangkok and in the United States, plus experience tutoring English.
- Languages
- English and Thai
- Education
- University of Washington at Seattle, Washington
- Teaching style
- Patient, practical, and project-based, with the American 'learn by doing' approach: make mistakes safely, debug, and build real mastery.
Upcoming Workshop

A closer look at the car students will code, connect, wire, and test.
Upcoming Workshop Components
Robotics and engineering parts students code into a working RC car
Each part supports the coding goal: students learn what the component does, how code controls it, and how to troubleshoot when the car does not behave as expected.
Microcontroller
Runs the C++ code that receives browser commands and turns them into movement.
Potentiometers
Hands-on control for exploring resistance, signals, and calibration.
Breadboards
A safe way to test circuits before committing to the final car layout.
Motor Driver
Turns small code signals into the power needed to drive motors.
DC Motors
The moving parts students test, tune, and improve for speed and control.
Coding
Write C++, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to control a real microcontroller.
How We Teach
Code, connect, test, improve.
- Ask Start with a coding or engineering question students can test.
- Build Write code and connect electronics, motors, cameras, and controls.
- Test Use observations to find what is failing and why.
- Improve Debug, tune, compete, and showcase the final creation.
Reserve or Ask
Reserve coding, robotics or engineering classes near Hang Dong.
Early Bird Tuition: 7,200 THB until June 30, 2026. Regular Tuition: 8,000 THB after June 30, 2026 (save 800 THB).
