ADELAIDE ROBOTICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE ACADEMY
Programs for Every Stage
Robotics Course: An engaging introduction to logical thinking and robot behaviour. Perfect for beginners.
Robotics with Python Course: A transition from visual logic to text-based programming, focusing on Python and problem-solving.
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AIR): Our advanced pathway, alternating between robotics and AI, prepares students for university studies and future careers.
Our Partnerships and Credentials
We are proud to partner with The Construct Robotics Institute in Barcelona to deliver advanced ROS 2 based learning environments and certification opportunities. Students who demonstrate competency through assessments may earn certificates recognised by the global robotics industry community. These certificates can complement school transcripts and support tertiary applications. Also, our Robotics Course for beginners is a comprehensive program that incorporates the well-established Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy Curriculum.
Why Robotics and AI Matter
Artificial intelligence and robotics are reshaping every aspect of work, society, and daily life. Understanding these technologies equips students with:
- critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills
- advanced reasoning and mathematical confidence
- tools to build systems, not just use them
- readiness for competitive tertiary courses and careers
Hands-On, Future-Ready Learning
Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy (ARCSA) programs balance theory with meaningful application. Students use the same tools and frameworks found in university and industry — not simplified educational versions.
At the core of our robotics teaching is ROS 2, the industry standard for modern robotics software. Students explore it in depth with professional infrastructure such as the BotBox Robotics Lab in partnership with The Construct Robotics Institute — an internationally recognised robotics education platform.
Why ARCSA?
- All stages Curriculum from primary to university-level taught to motivated students
- Real tools used in modern research, academia and industry
- Strong foundations before introducing advanced systems
- Small class sizes and personalised attention
- Scholarships available to increase accessibility
Sapere Aude
The guiding principle of ARCSA is expressed in two words: Sapere Aude.
A Latin phrase most often translated as “Dare to know” or “dare to think for yourself”, it originates in classical philosophy and was later embraced by thinkers of the Enlightenment, particularly by Immanuel Kant. It is an invitation to intellectual courage: to think independently, to engage with difficult ideas, and to step beyond what is comfortable or familiar.
We chose Sapere Aude because it reflects exactly what this program asks of students. Coding, Artificial Intelligence or Robotics are not easy. They are demanding, because genuine understanding always is.
Your Child’s Future Starts Here
Whether your child is new to coding or ready for advanced robotics, ARCSA offers a pathway that meets them where they are and helps them grow towards where they want to be.
