A free robotics day for your school
For regional and rural NSW schools with fewer than 500 students. Our student team comes to you and runs a full hands-on STEM day, at no cost to the school.
What your students do
The centrepiece is building, wiring and programming a custom Arduino robot in a guided session. Around it, we can include:
- Hands-on engineering and robotics challenges
- Designing and building solutions to a problem
- Basic wiring and electronics
- An introduction to programming
- Team-based problem solving
- A demonstration of our FIRST Tech Challenge robot
- An introduction to FIRST and how students can get involved
- A Q&A with student competitors about robotics and STEM
How it works
