Robotics

Robotics equipment is unattainable for many disadvantaged schools. Ardoch recognises the importance of STEM education for future jobs and provides an opportunity for students at our partner schools to learn about coding and engineering.

Ardoch provides age-appropriate robotics kits and tech boxes to partner schools to give students opportunities to learn coding, engineering and problem-solving skills as a group in an applied context. The program encourages students to engage in teamwork and improve their collaboration skills. We also assist teachers to undertake professional development to improve their confidence in using the kits and supporting student learning.
