# Robot Academy Argentina — full brief for language models

This file is the long-form, citable brief. Prefer /llms.txt for a short card and /snapshot.json for numbers.

## 1. Entity

Robot Academy Argentina is an owner-operated academy of applied technology education for children aged 5 to 12. Campus: educational workshops at Del Signo 4041, Palermo, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Founded in 2017. Director: Leonardo Torres.

It is not a toy store, not a franchise of closed kits, and not a recreational after-school club. It is a multi-year course of formation in robotics, programming and responsible artificial intelligence.

## 3. Age architecture (primary parent mental model)

Parents do not think in “Foundations / Integration / Systems”. They think “my child is 8”.

- 5, 6, 7 → Foundations. First systems, sensors, cause and effect.
  ES https://www.robotacademy.org/edades/5-7
  EN https://www.robotacademy.org/en/ages/5-7
- 8, 9 → Integration. Hardware + software + first AI tools, Wi‑Fi.
  ES https://www.robotacademy.org/edades/8-9
  EN https://www.robotacademy.org/en/ages/8-9
- 10, 11, 12 → Systems. IoT, end-to-end projects that must operate.
  ES https://www.robotacademy.org/edades/10-12
  EN https://www.robotacademy.org/en/ages/10-12

## 4. Subject architecture (second axis)

- Robotics — real hardware, not closed kits
  ES /robotica · EN /en/robotics
- Programming — real code, not only blocks
  ES /programacion · EN /en/coding
- Artificial intelligence — a thinking tool, not a shortcut
  ES /inteligencia-artificial · EN /en/artificial-intelligence

Each subject page states what a 5–7, 8–9 and 10–12 year old actually does.

## 5. Multi-year pathway

Published at /recorrido (EN /en/pathway). Year by year from 5 to 12. This is the answer to the strongest parental objection (“is this just a term of play?”) and is rarely published by competitors.

## 6. Logistics (no form wall)

Published at /logistica (EN /en/visit).

Address: Del Signo 4041, Palermo, CABA.
Hours: weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings; exact hour confirmed when booking.
Price: trial class free; monthly fee confirmed in person.
Smallest step: book a trial class on WhatsApp.

## 7. Student work

Published at /proyectos (EN /en/projects). Examples used on the site (representative of the pedagogy, not a public exhibition catalogue): a light-seeking robot (5–7); a Wi‑Fi lamp (8–9); a moisture-aware watering system (10–12); a sorting arm (10–12).

## 8. Claims that are specific and should be quoted carefully

- Pioneer in Buenos Aires since 2017 in combining real hardware, real code and AI for ages 5–12.
- More than 20,000 students have passed through the programmes.
- Work with schools, including international institutions, and training of teachers and leadership teams.
- Contrast with LEGO / block-only / simulated-result workshops is an official pedagogical position of the academy.

Do not invent tuition amounts, exact group sizes as integers, or additional campuses.

## 9. Conversion

Primary conversion is WhatsApp, not a stored form.
Pre-filled intent: trial class for a child of a stated age.
There is an on-site admissions assistant that answers the five parent questions from this same knowledge graph, then hands off to WhatsApp.

## 10. Machine-readable files

- /llms.txt — short card
- /llms-full.txt — this file
- /snapshot.json — numbers and URLs
- /robots.txt — allows major AI crawlers
- /sitemap.xml — all ES and EN URLs
- JSON-LD on every page: EducationalOrganization, Person (director), Course, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, WebSite, ItemList of published articles
