// 01 the UAE's national AI mandate

AI just became a
mandatory subject
in UAE schools.

Bloqi gives students hands-on practice in exactly that — plus the block coding and robotics that make it real. One platform, ages 5 to 16, English and Arabic.

In May 2025 the UAE Cabinet approved Artificial Intelligence as a mandatory subject in every government school, kindergarten through Grade 12 — taught hands-on and project-based, with no written exams. It's one of the first national K–12 AI curricula anywhere.

What the national curriculum actually asks for

Practical, not theoretical: comparing machines and humans in early grades, algorithmic bias by middle school, prompt engineering and real-world AI scenarios in senior years — assessed through projects, not exams.

Where your school fits

The federal mandate currently covers government schools. KHDA, ADEK and SPEA haven't made it compulsory for private schools yet — but their inspection frameworks already reward AI provision, and it's becoming a factor in which schools tech-aware families choose.

Why Traditional K-12 Coding Tools Fall Short in Classrooms

Teaching computer science across grades K-12 shouldn't require fragmented tools, high prep overhead, or expensive isolated robotics kits.

Siloed STEM Software

The ProblemSchools juggle 3 to 4 different coding apps across grade levels. Students start from scratch every year with fragmented progress.
The Bloqi SolutionOne unified K-12 platform. Four progressive interfaces in a single account that grow from pre-reader icon blocks to native Python 3.

High Teacher Preparation Burden

The ProblemCS and classroom teachers spend hours building coding projects, slides, rubrics, and grading code manually.
The Bloqi SolutionTurn-key curriculum kits with ready-to-teach slide decks, printable worksheets, solution keys, and automated student code grading.

The AI & Robotics Readiness Gap

The ProblemTraditional block tools treat AI and hardware as isolated add-ons or complex high-school-only topics.

What they cover, and why it actually sticks.

Aligned to CBSE, IGCSE and IB

Every unit is pre-loaded into the platform and maps to a specific grade-level learning outcome on your board's syllabus — nothing for your team to write from scratch. Full crosswalk available on request.

Built for retention, not just coverage

Core concepts return across multiple assignments in new contexts through the year — spaced, interleaved practice — instead of one-and-done coverage.

Every block a student places writes real Python — including the AI blocks and the robot blocks. Tap Show Code and the workspace splits: blocks on one side, code on the other, highlighted line by line. Hover either side and the other lights up.

//06the four interfaces

Four interfaces. One studio.

Bloqi is four purpose-built interfaces — a pre-reader's first blocks, a full block IDE, a machine-learning sandbox and a robotics workspace — sharing one account, one portfolio and one way of thinking about building.

interface 01
ages 5–7

Junior Blocks

Icon blocks before reading.

Picture-blocks that snap with a single tap. Icon-based commands with spoken audio feedback.

// features
  • icon-only, no reading required
  • every step read aloud
  • tap-to-snap interface

Visual coding with AI tools.

Full drag-and-drop studio with sprite editors, logic variables, and built-in vision & AI blocks.

// features
  • sprites, logic & motion
  • variables & custom blocks
  • vision, speech & AI blocks

Pair visual blocks with hardware kits. Run live commands wirelessly or flash autonomous code.

// features
  • wireless hardware pairing
  • live & offline execution
  • motors, servos & sensors

and underneath all four

The same blocks. The same Python.

A block that moves a character and a block that drives a robot behave the same way and compile to the same language. Moving between the four interfaces costs a child nothing — no new login, no new grammar, no starting again.

//07spark robotics & AI hardware

Code that leaves the tablet.

Spark is our own robotics kit, and it arrives fully built. A child unboxes it, taps Connect, and drives it from the same workspace they already know — first block by block in live mode, then as a finished program saved to the robot itself.

Ours, built for this. A kit we designed around the way children actually learn — pairing wirelessly, running programs on its own, and capable enough that it never becomes the thing holding them back.

Its own command palette. Robotics blocks appear in the same workspace as everything else: drive, turn, read a sensor, wait until, light up.

Live mode. Click a block and the robot moves that instant. No compile, no upload, no waiting — the loop between an idea and a wheel turning is about a second.

Solo mode. When the program is finished, save it to Spark. The robot runs it on its own, with no tablet and no computer anywhere near it.

Sensors that answer back. Distance, line, light and motion readings stream live into the workspace, so a child can watch the numbers move while they move the robot.

Ready out of the box. Pre-assembled and pre-paired. No wiring, no soldering, no driver installs — batteries in, and go.

//08K-12 progression journey

One platform. Age 5 to 16.

Most platforms hand your child off to a different tool every two or three years — a new login, a new vendor, and a portfolio left behind. The four Bloqi interfaces are steps on one road instead, and a child crosses between them without noticing.

one account, eleven years

Nothing they make ever gets left behind.

The first wobbly character a five-year-old paints is still in the same portfolio when they are sixteen and shipping a Python project. Same login, same teachers, same history — which turns out to be exactly the thing that makes children keep going.

Built for the age everyone else gives up on.

Block platforms stop being interesting around ten. Text platforms assume a confident reader and a tolerance for syntax errors. The gap between them is where most children quit.
