A proven STEM education background
20+ Years of STEM Innovation. Real Competition Pathways.
When you open an MRT learning centre, you can build on established robotics education experience, structured learning resources and opportunities for students to work towards meaningful challenges.
20+ Years of STEM Education Experience
MRT has over two decades of experience developing educational robots, coding curricula and eLearning systems. Its Australian operation launched in Sydney in 2014 and has since expanded its educational reach.
Students learn through practical robot-building, coding and problem-solving projects rather than theory alone.

The Robotics & Coding Challenge is officially hosted by the UNSW School of Built Environment. MRT Robotics provides eLearning, official robot sets, educational content and annual competition support.
The challenge grew from a 2022 UNSW initiative into an Australia-wide program spanning coding, robotics, AI and engineering design.

Investment, operating hours & revenue examples
What Does It Cost — and What Could You Earn?
Understand the upfront investment, typical teaching window and illustrative gross revenue before enquiring.
Initial centre package
AUD $41,008Indicative initial package figure supplied for this opportunity. Request an itemised breakdown of equipment, setup, training and fees.
Total launch costs may exceed $50,000 depending on premises, approvals, insurance and working capital.
After-school teaching window
3 PM – 6 PMKindy to Year 6. A three-hour after-school session window, typically Monday to Friday.
About 2 hours/day? This may be a target for direct instruction, not the full business workload. Preparation, pickup, supervision, cleaning, marketing and administration take additional time.
Illustrative annual gross revenue
$96k–$180kExamples based on 8 or 15 paying students per day, $60 per student per session, 5 days/week and 40 teaching weeks.
Revenue, not profit. Student numbers and fees are assumptions, not forecasts or guarantees.
How the numbers work
| Students per day | Fee per student | Weekly gross revenue | Annual gross (40 weeks) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | $60 | $2,400 | $96,000 |
| 15 | $60 | $4,500 | $180,000 |
Important: Figures are illustrative gross sales only, before instructor wages, rent or home occupancy costs, equipment, franchise fees/royalties, insurance, utilities, marketing, GST and tax. Fifteen students may require additional staff, space and regulatory approvals. Actual enrolments and financial outcomes vary. The $41,008 package amount and inclusions must be confirmed in current franchise documentation before publishing as a firm offer.

Important: Assumes the same number of paying students attends every operating day and all fees are collected. Rent and other weekly expenses are applied for all 52 weeks; wages and royalties only during operating weeks. Royalty is estimated proportionally as students ÷ 10 × $55 per week, not a confirmed contractual formula. Profit is before owner remuneration (if owner teaches), tax, financing, depreciation, start-up costs, and unlisted expenses. GST treatment is not modelled. Real results depend on enrolment, staffing, occupancy, local approvals and actual franchise terms.

Know before you start
Can I run a centre from my house?
Potentially, but it depends on your property, local planning rules, council requirements, child safety, insurance and other relevant approvals.
Does two hours mean only two hours of work a day?
No. Two hours describes a proposed teaching session. Marketing, enrolments, parent communication, setup, preparation and administration add further work.
Is the curriculum already prepared?
MRT offers structured online curriculum and centre tools. Verify that Maths, Typing, Coding and Robotics, along with teacher training and robotics kits, are included in the exact package you choose.
Can I get a business loan?
A finance broker may be able to assess available lending options. Eligibility and approval are decided by lenders; no loan is guaranteed.
How much can I earn?
That depends on student numbers, pricing, attendance, staff, premises, costs and time spent. This page makes no earnings guarantee.
