Robo Camp has grown! Project Bucephalus will be trialing something new for the 2024/25 Holidays! In addition to the usual January workshops, the team will be running a two-day “Grand Sumo” event in December at the Wollongong TAFE.
Project Bucephalus Robotics is a Wollongong-based group that has been running robotics activities for children since 2011. Their after-school and school holiday workshops are an excellent activity for STEM-minded (or LEGO-obsessed) kids! Places are limited and bookings are essential. Book here now to reserve your child's place.
School Holiday Programs will be held across the UOW Shoalhaven Campus & TAFE Campus Wollongong.
In Robo Camp workshops, students learn how to design, build, and program their own robots. Project Bucephalus team members will pass on their skills in teamwork, lateral thinking, and having FUN!
While these activities are designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, they will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult. Contact Us if you would like more information.
