## Parent decision journey (site architecture)

The site answers five questions, in this order, because this is the order they appear for a parent:

1. Is this real and serious? → Home. Social proof and numbers above the fold. https://www.robotacademy.org/
2. Does this serve my child, who is X years old? → Primary navigation by age.
   - Ages 5–7 Foundations: https://www.robotacademy.org/edades/5-7
   - Ages 8–9 Integration: https://www.robotacademy.org/edades/8-9
   - Ages 10–12 Systems: https://www.robotacademy.org/edades/10-12
3. Where does this lead? → Multi-year pathway, year by year 5→12. https://www.robotacademy.org/recorrido
4. What does it cost, where is it, what time? → Logistics without a form. https://www.robotacademy.org/logistica
5. What is the smallest next step? → Sticky “trial class” CTA in the header of every page. https://www.robotacademy.org/admisiones

## What makes it different

Traditional kids’ robotics: closed kits (LEGO), block coding, step-by-step activities, simulated results, recreational framing.
Robot Academy: real hardware and sensors, real code, students’ own projects, systems that operate, applied technological formation. Also trains teachers and runs in-school programmes for bilingual and international schools in Buenos Aires.

## Smallest next step

Complimentary trial class, arranged on WhatsApp, no obligation.
