Robokids

Providing STEM workshops for teachers and students

Two primary school-aged schoolgirls laughing as they participate in the Robokids program, both engaged with a blue HP laptop, one of the girls holding a robot with wheels attached to it.

Robokids will be involved in two STEM projects:

Footscray Learning Precinct known as (FLP). The FLP involves 2 primary & 1 secondary schools.

The focus is to:

  • deliver a robotics program from Foundation to year 7 students across 3 schools,

  • facilitate the development of community values and culture among the schools and their staff through a shared STEAM curriculum. The project will also focus on breaking down boundaries and barriers in these schools, ultimately to establish a STEAM cohesive community that works together, shares education outcomes. Data will be collected and evaluated by:

    • PwC surveys for Teachers and students
    • Social Network Analysis -SNA Education
