JNR ROBOTICS ACADEMY

Inspiring the Next Generation of Minds

Based in the Bundaberg area, Jnr Robotics Academy are committed to engaging regional kids in the world of robotics through Lego robot kits. It is our aim to expose as many children to important STEM concepts such as designing, engineering and coding. To maximise participation and experience we provide holiday workshops, tutoring/incursions and 'RoboCup Seasons’ for children aged 9+.

Sessions are capped to keep numbers low and interaction with mentors high. Participants can either reserve a kit individually or team up with a friend and share a kit.

Workshops are typically held out of Elliott Heads State School. To help keep costs as low as possible, each participant/pair/team must bring their own device with the Lego Education Spike app already installed. The app allows participants to code and connect with the robot devices. It can be downloaded for free from the associated electronic store for iPads, tablets, laptops and Chromebooks.

Our Services

Holiday Workshops

School holiday Workshops are designed to engage and inspire student minds and even give an insight towards some of the competition events. Typically running for 2.5 hours, workshops have different challenges that participants must design, build and code for.

Popular workshops include:

Sumo
Bridge Bullies
Robo Racers
Soccer

JRA RoboCup Seasons

The JRA RoboCup Seasons focus on designing and programming Lego robots to complete task-based challenges over a set number of weeks. Participants will prepare and refine their robots in weekly sessions with the option to participate in a variety of official RoboCup competitions.

Two separate seasons run each year including an extended 'RoboCup Season' involving Rescue (Line) and Soccer and our short 'Sumo Season' which has participants build and code their own Sumo 'battle bot'.

Tutoring & Incursions

Jnr Robotics Academy can fully customise and tailor both tutoring sessions for individuals, small groups and schools in the Bundaberg and surrounding areas. These programs would be subject to time/equipment availability.

Prices depend on number of participants, required number of robot kits, duration of lessons/program, travel etc.
