Workshop #1: Introduction to Robotics (Shoalhaven)
This our standard beginner course. Students are introduced to LEGO® Robotics, learning the basics of robotics and programming as they build robots capable of reacting to their environment and making simple decisions. The second day of the workshop finishes with the ever-popular “Robot Sumo” challenge and a tournament where all families are welcome. No previous experience is required. While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult.
Note: Introduction to Robotics is our recommended course for novice students. However, Ready Player #1 can serve as an alternate for students who feel the Introduction course is too simple. Contact Us if you would like more information.

Workshop #2: Mastermind (Shoalhaven)
Ready Player #1!
In this workshop, students will be guided through robotic recreations of classic and modern computer games, designing co-operative systems that can operate with minimal human intervention. Each pair of students will have the opportunity to design their own unique creations, exploring the capabilities of the Classroom and SPIKE Prime programming environments.
This course is a mix of free-range and guided material. Students will be led through complex programming, and then encouraged to design and build their own custom robots. This is designed for students already familiar with LEGO® Robotics – or novices able to cope with a steep learning curve! While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult. Contact Us if you would like more information.
