Robotics

A whole school Robotics program has been developed to excite students about science and technology. Currently our Robotics program includes the use of Bee-Bot's, Pro-Bots and NXT Robots. Students have access to these resources during Computer Mentoring, within the classroom and as part of the Robotics Club. Students learn the principles of robotics and design through hands-on experience with sensors, motors and icon based programming. Challenge based activities allow students to work collaboratively to build a wealth of knowledge about effective programming and team work. Students also participate in STEM activities organised by the Peninsula Community of Schools.
