There is an opportunity to inspire up to 30 students at a time for either full day or half-day workshops. The students will experience one, two or three challenging mini-projects that will give them an exciting and hands-on experience; challenging them to think creatively and practically. Participants will be encouraged to solve problems using the latest Lego Mindstorms technology, and the amazing Cubelets. Depending on your needs, other robots might be used such as Dash, Cue, Lego Boost and Bluebots. |
A lot of people have congratulated Robot Man for his flexibility. No matter how many students you teach, or what ranges in age and experience they have, Robot Man can find inspirational activities that will suit your needs. He has some very simple robots and activities that suit young children, and plenty of equipment to suit the older pupils. No devices or internet are needed, because Robot Man brings enough stand-alone iPads for everyone. Basically you tell Robot Man the numbers and approximate age of your students, and he'll customise a programme to suit your needs.

BONUS 1. Steve (Robot Man) has teacher registration in Tasmania and Victoria, with a current National Criminal Check, and Tasmanian Working with Vulnerable People card. There is therefore the option for you to hire Robot Man to replace one of your absent teachers, or to free up a teacher to do other things. |
BONUS 2.
Professional Learning Opportunity?? Yes! Instead of sending your staff off campus for Professional Learning, allow them to visit one of my sessions at your school. They will see how to integrate many STEM aspects of the curriculum into the classroom and I will issue them with a PL certificate. There is also the opportunity for Robot Man to be invited to staff meetings as a special guest speaker, after running a day's workshops. |
