School Holiday Programs will be held across the Shoalhaven (1 & 3 October) and Wollongong (9 & 10 October).
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!

Workshop #1: TBC
Date: TBC
Time: 10am - 4pm
Cost: $150 (Inc. GST)
Location: UOW Shoalhaven Campus
This our standard beginner course. Students are introduced to LEGO® Robotics, learning the basics of robotics and programming as they build robots capable of reacting to their environment and making simple decisions. The second day of the workshop finishes with the ever-popular “Robot Sumo” challenge and a tournament where all families are welcome. No previous experience is required. While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult. Note: Introduction to Robotics is our recommended course for novice students.
Workshop #2: TBC
This workshop will challenge students to produce a collaborative “Great Ball Contraption”, with each robot representing one link in a chain. This workshop requires teamwork and creativity as well as engineering and programming skills!
This course provides a specific parameters to students, and encourages free-range design, construction and programming in those limits. Students will be encouraged to explore and develop skills, getting assistance from our mentors along the way. This is designed for students already familiar with LEGO® Robotics – or novices able to cope with a steep learning curve! While the activity is designed to be suitable for ages 7 and up, we will accept younger students if they are accompanied by an adult. Contact Us if you would like more information.
Note: Introduction to Robotics is our recommended course for novice students. However, Incredible Machine can serve as an alternate for students who feel the Introduction course is too simple.
