Out of School Workshops

Fun Learning, Outside of School

The challenges and forward-thinking nature of Robotics presents stimulating opportunities for the development of 21st Century life skills.

Our Out of School, fun learning programs provide an opportunity for development of 21st century life skills ie creative thinking, problem solving, social intelligence, coding, engineering and the scientific method in a fun and engaging way with liked minded peers.

Workshops

A. Junior Level – Prep to Grade 3

Topic: Launching into Robotics

Students will explore and extend their knowledge of structure, force, energy simple machines and scientific principles in the real world. Students will use the Robotix Modular construction system to build their models which will involve problem solving and computational thinking.

Location: Highton

Time: 90 minute sessions

Duration: 8 Weeks

Commences: First Saturday of each Term

Cost: $70.00 per session x 8 sessions

Registered NDIS Provider

B. Middle School Level – Grades 4 to 6

Topic: Adventures in Maths, Science and Tech

Students will enhance their knowledge of mechanical engineering and scientific principles and their effects by building robots to solve real world problems. These sessions allow students to become active participants designing their learning as well as creators of computational artefacts instead of passive users of devices made by others. Students will use the Robotix Modular construction system to build their models which will involve problem solving and computational thinking.

Location: Highton

Time: 90 minutes sessions

Duration: 8 Weeks

Commences: First Saturday of each Term

Cost: $70.00 per session x 8 sessions

C. Senior School Level – Years 7 to 10

Topic: Its Your future

Students will be active participants designing their learning as well as creators of computational artefacts instead of passive users of devices made by others. They will explore Simple and Complex Machines, Mechanisms, Motion, Apply Maths and Science that engineers use, Programming and Sensors and to design and create their solution to a real world problem using Vex IQ modular construction system. Students will use the VEX IQ Modular construction system to build their models which will involve problem solving and computational thinking .

Location: Highton

Time: 90 minutes session

Duration: 8 Weeks

Commences: First Saturday each Term

Cost: $70.00 per session x 8 sessions

World of Robotics offered our students thinking well beyond standard project learning… energy and enthusiasm – so much more than just a robot.

Marg Scott Network Improvement Officer Grampians Region
The children wore the hats of scientists and inventors when they investigated forces and energy through the mechanics of robots… true light bulb learning moments.

Joanne Kretsis Year 3 Team Leader Auburn South PS
All of our children were challenged and supported to succeed, and had a thoroughly enjoyable learning experience.

Meg Collyer Seabrook Primary School
Creating generations of creative and curious minds.

Lisa Van Noordennen Principal Barnawartha Primary School
Problem-solving, persistence, scaffolded learning, high expectations, collaborative learning, risk-taking, test-evaluate-modify… Robotic Education met our aims and more!

Rob Nelson Principal Bannockburn Primary School
We have worked with World of Robotics for 15 years… the whole school, every year.”

Ian Sloane Principal Mitcham Primary School
The Robotics incursion complemented our inquiry learning philosophies of hands on constructive learning. The children wore the hats of scientists and inventors when they investigated forces and energy through the mechanics of robots. They were problem solvers throughout the whole time when they constructed their robot spaceships along with all the add on features. They problem solved and had many light bulb learning moments when it came to attaching the robotic appendages like the arms and lunar rovers.

‘Robotics Come to You’ is an exciting and individually tailored choice of over 300 robotic challenges, designed to engage and extend your students – Foundation to Year 10.

Inquiry based and utilising your choice of robotic platform (listed below), students are set exciting real-world challenges to explore, explain, evaluate and innovate – presenting their finished robot to their peers. Working in pairs to encourage the 4 Cs (creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking), this incursion can even be extended into other areas of the STEM curriculum.

Robotic platform resources include:

Vex IQ – technology / engineering / coding
Robotix – Engineering / inventions
Cublets (MOSS) – Technology/sensors
Logi Blocks – Electronics
Movit – Construction / interpretation of Instructions
