In short:

- there are no instalments, but the prepayment is refunded if your child does not stay after the trial.
Prices for kids' clubs in Tashkent are often not published: many studios and centres only list a phone number. We show the numbers openly so you can compare right away instead of after three calls. For teenagers aged 12-17, group classes cost 1,090,000 UZS a month; for children aged 9-11, 680,000 UZS. Each month includes 12 lessons of 60 minutes.
What the price covers

All amounts are in UZS per month. A group has 8-12 children. The standard fee includes:
- 12 lessons a month;
- a tutor, the teacher's assistant in class;
- the Space platform: homework, progress, coins, a parent account;
- a co-working area and free Wi-Fi at the branch.
What one lesson costs
Simple arithmetic: 1,090,000 ÷ 12 ≈ 91,000 UZS per 60-minute lesson in a teen group. For ages 9-11, 680,000 ÷ 12 ≈ 57,000 UZS. A tutor works next to the teacher, and a curator tracks attendance and keeps in touch with parents, so each child has three adults around.

The first month is the same for everyone: the mandatory "AI-Pilot", where the child gets to grips with the computer, touch typing and logic, and makes first mini-projects.
Discounts
Discounts do not stack; the largest one applies:
- referral: 100,000 UZS, and both get it, the student who brought a friend and the friend;
- siblings: 100,000 UZS each;
- girls: 100,000 UZS a month, permanent;
- children of Mars staff: 200,000 UZS;
- retention: 100,000 UZS a month for families about to leave.
Example: two brothers in a 12-17 group pay 2 × (1,090,000 − 100,000) = 1,980,000 UZS instead of 2,180,000.
What is not covered
We do not promise what the price list does not say. There are no instalments; payment is monthly. The trial lesson requires prepaying the seat, and if your child does not stay, the prepayment is refunded. If a lesson is missed, it can be made up: the mentor goes through the topic separately and the materials stay in Space.
You can also start for free at home: Scratch is free for everyone, and python.org has material for beginners. A course makes sense when the child needs a group, a rhythm and adults nearby, not access to a tool.
How to compare prices across centres
A monthly sum says little by itself. Compare on five points; we are ready to answer them for Mars:
- How many lessons a month and how long each is (ours: 12 of 60 minutes).
- How many children in a group (ours: 8-12).
- Whether a laptop is needed: your own, or rented for 300,000 or 200,000 UZS.
- Who is next to the child besides the teacher (ours: a tutor and a curator).
- What the child brings home: every lesson ends with finished work you can look at.
Price and the decision
Money is not the main barrier. Among 15,000 refusals over a year, "too expensive" was named in 5.8% of cases and ranks only sixth. More often parents go quiet or postpone: together with those who signed up but never came, that is 41.6%. So look beyond the sum: what your child will make in the first month, who watches over them in class, and how you will learn the result. Mars is a resident of IT Park Uzbekistan, but the real check is the one you make yourself at a trial lesson.
Parents' questions
Are instalments available?
No. Payment is monthly, at the price in the table above.
What if my child doesn't like it?
The trial seat is prepaid. If your child does not stay, the prepayment is refunded.
Can my child use their own laptop?
Yes. Renting a school laptop costs 300,000 UZS a month for ages 12-17 and 200,000 for ages 9-11; with your own, there is no rental fee.
