What the teachers think…

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.
