Secondary School Incursions
In our Incursions, students learn not only how to use technology, but also how to create with it. All our workshops foster problem solving skills as well as encouraging team work and cooperation. Along with technology skills and concepts our workshops also touch a wide variety of other curriculum topics such as Math, Science, Technologies and Literacy.
Our mobile workshop lab can set up in just about any classroom or teaching space. We will bring along all equipment (robots, worksheets, laptops, props etc as necessary) so all you need to provide are keen and enthusiastic students!
Robotics in the morning and stopmotion in the afternoon? Not a problem!
Full day of robotics with the one class? Easily done!
We are extremely flexible with all our workshops so if you are after something a little different, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
MicroBit
The BBC MicroBit is an easy to use Microcontroller that can be programmed with either a Graphical or General Purpose Programming language.

Stop Motion Animation
From the cinema classic ‘King Kong’ through to modern day favourites ‘Wallace and Grommit’, Stopmotion animation has been a popular film style. Let your class get creative and have them shoot a short animated clip explaining a science concept, retelling a historical event or making a community announcement. From storyboarding to filming to editing, students will engage in creating their own slice…
Arduino Electronics
The Arduino platform is a great way to introduce students to the world of circuits and electronics. These workshops will show students how to hook up simple circuits and write some basic code to interface with sensors and actuators. Using hardware and software prototyping tools, they will learn to flash LED’s, operate Buzzers and make servo motors move.
Scratch Programming
Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music and art. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. SCRATCH is a free programming language, so students can continue their…
LEGO EV3 Robotics
Robotics workshops are an ideal way to captivate young minds and stimulate critical thinking. Robot building and programming teaches a wide range of skills such as problem solving, as well as encouraging team work and cooperation. Students learn a simple programming language and have a robot up and moving within minutes. Contact us to customise a workshop to suit your students.
