Drones
Over the past year, Innovate Tech Camps has launched a module on Aerial Robotics which focused specifically on drones and drone technology. Drones are amazing because they can do so much. Aerial media can be collected for industries, monitoring traffic, inspections of buildings, towers and bridges etc. Instead of making people climb up roofs and […]
When Robots Tell The Story – Junior Robotics
One of the ways of teaching robotics in the classroom is to make robots tell the story. The Ozobot is one such engaging robot with a whole dose of fun in our STEAM classrooms. Using visual code, the Ozobots can carry out specific tasks such moving faster, slowing down, line jump, u-turn and more all […]
The Benefits of a Robotics Education
In a snippet, we explain why we think a robotics education rocks! Robotics is a very specialized field of study which encompasses a lot of learning with hands on activities. It is fun, engaging, complex and tests our patience to its limits, all in one breath. It makes us learn how to communicate and collaborate […]
The Four C’s of Education
According to ISTE, the four C’s of education are Communication, Critical Thinking, Collaboration and Creativity. This is 2017 learning, where students will not just be passive consumers of technology but actually understand why and how things work and how to make effective use of technology and enhance one’s learning. These four C’s are more apparent […]
Encouraging Innovation and Other Skills
The technology classroom is all very exciting and there is so much talk about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) and getting students interested in STEM subjects. The STEM classroom is a place where students get to explore, create and learn new skills along the way. The STEM classroom does not just encourage and promote […]
A year of robotics, coding, electronics, STEM and STEAM
We, Team Innovate, would like to thank all our students, parents, primary and high schools under our programs and supporters for such an incredible year. We’ve had 4 seasons of tech camps, weekly after school programs every term, launched Maker Days for kids, become the Official littleBits Melbourne Chapter, run 2 Vex IQ qualifier events, […]
From The Student Journals Part 2
In the past four weeks, I have learnt how to control robots with a controller and also the physical and virtual robot. The coding is difficult to start with but once you understand, you get your head around it and begin to understand how it all works. I have learnt to have patience when the […]
From The Student Journals Part 1
Robotics is very enjoyable and nothing like what I thought it was going to be, which was interesting. It was great to see what people do in the world championships. I think robotics is not scary but it was very hard and challenging, but that was one of the good things about doing robotics – […]
A Girl’s Thoughts on Coding Part 1
My thoughts on coding are it's fun and challenging. It was nice to try something new although at first I thought it would've been boring and hard for me. I gave it a try and it was awesome! It's not easy but it made me realize that amazing things can happen on a computer and […]
Mindstorms Club – We Did It!
Yes, we can do it if we never give up! That's what we love about robotics – it teaches you to have a great amount of patience and resilience!
