Team 89999A wins State Design Award at VEX Robotics State Competition

Congratulations to our High School Robotics Team 89999A for winning the VEX Robotics State Design Award at the VEX Robotics  Competition on 9 November 2018!

The team has spent many hours working on their robot and testing it to see if it works well. Many more extra hours were put in to make sure all was in place for the competition. What a feat! What a time!

Congratulations to our beloved VEX Team for a job well done. You should be so proud of your efforts because you deserve it! 🙂

Innovate Tech Camps – 20th Tech Camp

Innovate Tech Camps – 20th Tech Camp

It’s Innovate Tech Camps 20th tech camp! Hurray!

We simply can’t imagine having reached our 20th tech camp in 2018. Way back in 2013 when we had our first tech camp, it was with the old LEGO Mindstorms NXT model for the Grade 3 to 6 students and Lego WeDo 1.0 for the junior students.

It was with the very cool LEGO Green City Challenge which kids found so exciting and come to think of it, although we were way smaller then in terms of classes and programs, we all had heaps of fun but we have never looked back since.

Innovate Tech Camps went on to develop various other STEM courses which focused on robotics, coding, technology and digital literacy. We have welcomed kids and teens from all over Victoria, various states of Australia and even overseas visitors. We fondly remember sharing great memories with lovely kids and teens who came in to learn because they love technology.

It’s been a great ride and we thank all our Innovate Tech Camps Alumni and the parents for entrusting your precious kids to us. We will continue to grow and develop even more programs in the near future. See you at one of our future camps soon!

 

 

STEM Education at Robotics Academy

STEM Education at Robotics Academy

Term 2 Robotics Academy programs came to an end last week and we are finishing up our school robotics programs this week. What can we say except that it has been such a fantastic term, more than the photos can tell!

Our students did Australia proud by emerging 3rd position in the World Championships, our school and public academy programs delved into many aspects of STEM, including coding, robotics, 3D printing. Students attained their Level 1 Robotics Certification, the Mid Year Robotics Competition was a great success and teacher PDs have been ongoing.

There is much to be thankful for and much to look forward to. Thank you to our students, our supportive parents and all those who have believed in our academy programs.

We will not give up on innovation and inspiring our youth to become technology leaders in their own right. Thank you for another great term! ‪#‎loveinnovation‬ ‪#‎STEM‬ ‪#‎STEAM‬ ‪#‎thebestisyettocome‬

Teen Innovator (Grades 7 and above)

Don't miss out!

A New Robotics Academy

A New Robotics Academy

As of December 2015, Robotics Club Australia embraces a new era.

Robotics Club Australia is now known as Innovate Technology and Robotics Academy. Why the change, you may ask. That’s because we have outgrown being  a “club” over the years and are progressing into certifications and serious robotics competitions.

We are excited about what 2016 will bring. We have new courses coming up, certifications within the academy and more. We love our new logo and we will miss the great memories we had with our previous one.

Sayonara Robotics Club Australia. Thank you for the memories. We will move on to constantly Innovate Ahead from 2016 onwards!

Launch of Tech Summer School 2016

With the focus on coding, robotics and bringing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) education to the young, Innovate Tech Camps presents Tech Summer School 2016.

After a successful launch of new robots in the Young Inventor and Young Explorer modules and using sensational 3D blocks which connect vertically and horizontally, we are bringing some similar modules back after receiving great feedback from the students who attended our STEM Spring Camp 2015.

RoboSENSEsation was a big hit with students who spent much time building and programming robots. As were the Arduino modules and virtual robotics modules.

Tech Summer School 2016 has a huge focus on coding, robotics and 3D printing in line with the need to develop STEM in Australia. At Innovate Tech Camps, students will have access to the latest STEM modules and tools and develop their skills in coding and robotics, while developing greater thinking and problem solving skills.

Join Tech Summer School 2016 and prepare for the jobs of now and the future!
