Robotics Club Mobile STEM Incursions
Robotics Club is now mobile and on the road to schools with our Mobile STEM Incursions. Yes, now we can bring our robots and game fields directly to schools for incursions. We have a few exciting incursions coming up for Term 4, 2014! For more information on our incursion programs, visit Robotics Club. We are […]
Robotics Club Store
The Robotics Club Store is now open thanks to our web team who have put in many hours of work to get it started. The store caters to our club members, tech camp attendees, teachers, school robotics teams and the general public. We've got the popular ROBOT C software, Robot Virtual Worlds (the innovative alternative […]
Australia Needs Engineers
It is official. Australia needs engineers now and for the future. "We have too few students studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects at higher levels at high school, too few going onto engineering at university, and a shortage of engineering skills across the economy as a consequence. We can’t just look to immigration […]
Robotics The Modular Way
Cubelets give kids a great headstart to robotics. They are a bunch of magnetic blocks which snap together to make many types of robots. Playing with Cubelets teaches kids all about sensors and maths with Sense, Think and Action blocks. Just imagine making your own robot without the wires or programming them to perform different […]
Robotics In The Classroom
STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) is increasingly important today as schools realize the benefits of STEM for their students. Robotics Club brings robotics and electronics into school classrooms to allow children to create, innovate and become aware of real world engineering issues. Our mission is to reach out to as many children as […]
High School Career Fair
Robotics Club was invited to be part of a High School Career Fair. Yes, we showed up with our Vex robots, ready to inspire teens on career options related to a robotics education. Wow, was our booth a hit (feedback by the organizer)! There was never a dull moment as many teens took on our […]
The Magic of Robotics
Robots are not just tools. They are tools that are used to bring forth the imagination of a child. We have see for ourselves how imagination comes alive the moment children lay their hands on these tools. It is these very tools that allow a child to see science at work in their world, as […]
The Big “R” in Robotics
One of the hardest things about doing robotics is the need for resilience. Yes RESILIENCE. It is a big word and an even harder value to have. In robotics, whenever we set out to do a mission, we almost always never get it right the first time. It takes a lot more than just once. […]
A STEM Revolution – The Vex IQ
The Vex IQ robot is a cool new tool which students in Australia are getting into. Vex IQ is designed to be easy for students in primary school to use as it is tool free using snap-together pieces. This means students can build a Clawbot IQ or Armbot IQ. With so many pieces to choose […]
Why Robotics?
So why learn robotics? Robotics can be very dynamic to the point of being imtimidating. However, robotics helps the young people of today develop skills which are essential for life. Skills such as critical thinking, decicion making, public speaking, being able to work in a team and creative thinking are important for a student's life […]
