Workshop #1: Grand Sumo (Wollongong)
3-2-1 Fight! In Grand Sumo, students will explore the possibilities in one of the favourite Robo Camp activities as they design custom robots to autonomously fight robot sumo matches. Extra building options and advanced code will be offered to anyone interested in taking their fighting skills to the next level!
This course caters to both Novice and Advanced skill levels, and is a mix of free-range and guided material. Students will be led through complex programming, and then encouraged to design and build robots to fight in a sumo ring. 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.

Workshop #2: Introduction to Robotics (Wollongong)
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, Alive! can serve as an alternate for students who feel the Introduction course is too simple. Contact Us if you would like more information.

Workshop #3: Alive! (Wollongong)
It’s Alive! Alive!!!
In this workshop, students will be guided through the creation of a robot that acts like a living being – responding with joy when played with, and getting tired, hungry, or sick if neglected. Each pair of students will design their own unique creation, exploring the capabilities of the 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.
Note: Introduction to Robotics is our recommended course for novice students. However, Alive! can serve as an alternate for novice students who feel the Introduction course is too simple.
