Facilitated by experienced robotics students and led by parent volunteers, Holiday and After School Robotics are a great introduction for children aged 5-9 to our robotics programs.
After School Robotics
We will be back on the week starting 8th Feb 2021 – get in touch if you are interested in having your child join one of our classes.
Embers Robotics run an after school robotics program on Tuesdays from 4pm-5pm each week at our workshop at Wollongong TAFE and also a program at Thirroul Public School on Thursday 3.45-5.30pm. Project Bucephelus run an EV3 Mindstorms Roboclub on Tuesday & Thursday at the same locations, aimed at older, more experienced kids.
Both Embers run programs are open to all students aged 5-9. The TAFE held classes cost $150 for a 10 lesson term or $15/lesson. Thirroul classes cost $27 per lesson. All lessons utilise the Lego Education WeDo 2.0 kits and prepare students for the more advanced Lego Mindstorms systems.
We have also just taken delivery of some Spike Prime kits and are now exploring Scratch programming which our students are enjoying.
Note: For Elonera Montessori School students the “walking wedo bus” is available for anyone who wishes to have their child collected from EMS OOSH and taken over to the TAFE for the class.
If you would like details about how to enrol, or how to catch the “bus” please contact us. Classes are limited in size due to COVID restrictions.
Holiday Robotics
Sadly due to COVID-19 and our relocation to the TAFE we no longer run our own holiday robotics programs, we will however be facilitating another Wedo 2.0 robotics holiday program as part of the UOW Little Learning Labs on 17-18th April 2021. Download the brochure for details.
Our class is called “Wedo 2.0 Hands on Robotics”
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
