Starting with February 2020 we will expand our curriculum by adding a new robot for advanced classes: Arduino. The benefit of using Arduino is that students will have a deeper understanding of the components, circuits, and signals that actually make technology work. And most importantly it will introduce students to text-based coding such as Python, […]
We are happy to let you know that both our teams that entered Robocup State Championship won trophies. One team received the Innovation Award and the other one won second place in the Sumo competition. Congratulations to our students, the parents and supporters who made this possible! Next year our target will be to reach […]
A new addition to our sensors will be a camera which we can use to track and follow objects for games such as soccer or shooting. It’s called Pixy, and our students will love it! Check out this video: https://www.facebook.com/161139471103832/posts/402333283651115/
You probably know Sophia, the humanoid robot built by Hanson Robotics. What you might not know is that it will have a little sister called Little Sophia. It can walk, talk, sing, play games and, like her big sister, tell jokes. Little Sophia can be programmed in Blockly and Python. The good news is that […]
We have great news! We will offer a new science curriculum for advanced students. If your child is not an advanced student yet, it will be from their third year of studying Robotics with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. The way it works is this: if they started this year, let’s say in 2019, they would become intermediate […]
Recently, Brisbane, Australia was the host of the 34th edition of the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), the world’s most important Robotics event organised by IEEE. Our staff attended the Education Forum and enjoyed the chance to network with teachers and suppliers from all over the world. […]
How can Australia seize a $2 trillion opportunity from automation and create millions of safer, more meaningful and more valuable jobs? Machines will unburden the average Australian of 2 hours of the most tedious and manual work a week over the next 15 years. Our jobs will become safer, more satisfying and more valuable. More […]
The robots are more precise and consistent than human workers. The machines also allow for increased production and profit margin because they can complete tasks faster. Robots can work 24 hours since they do not require vacations, sick days, or breaks. They also make fewer mistakes than humans, saving companies time. In the medical field, […]
In 2015, the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) reported that automation could replace an estimated 40 percent of Australia’s workforce within the next 20 years. That’s approximately five million jobs that could be replaced by robots. “Australia must embrace AI revolution with automation set to affect every job”, a report quoted by ABC says. […]
Who did invent the word “robot” and what does it mean? Some people think it was Karel Capek, a Czech novelist and playwright, the one who came up with the word. But, contrary to the popular opinion, Karel Capek, the author of the play RUR is not the inventor of the word robot. The word, […]
