Project Bucephalus: Term 4 LEGO & STEM Fun!

Would you like to find out how to build a LEGO^® model that can move, speak and think by itself?

Would you like to discover a fun way to learn about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math?

Do you have a school or community group interested in a robotics program and/or entering a team in the FLL?

Here's a chance to make new friends in a cool after-school club – and be taught by a robotics team that is now the top team in the world for STEM Education, and Outreach. This team doesn't just build robots - they change the world!

The Project Bucephalus Robo Club is a robotics program for children aged 7+. It is suitable for both Primary and High-School age children, and uses LEGO^® robotics technology to provide an introduction to robotics!

In Robo Club classes, 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!

The Robo Club curriculum contains lessons and games designed to develop robotics, engineering, and programming skills. Catering to both beginner and advanced students, activities are mixed between single-week challenges and multi-week projects. The occasional competition is thrown in for good measure (Robot Sumo is a favourite!).
