ADELAIDE ROBOTICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE ACADEMY
Coding the Future,
Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy is a STEM Education Centre for students aged 8 to 18. We are an Australian educational organisation that provides Robotics, Drones, and Artificial Intelligence courses. Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy also offer various services, such as incursions, workshops, and displays, to help students acquire the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in this rapidly growing field. Our activities are designed to be hands-on and practical, allowing participants to apply what they learn in real-world scenarios. The focus is on providing students with a deep understanding of the technologies and concepts used in robotics and AI and the practical skills needed to program and control robots and computers.
As robotics and AI education leaders, we use various teaching methods, including lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, to help students learn and retain information. These activities allow participants to work with actual robots and AI models, giving them practical experience in programming, control systems, sensors, and actuators. The small class sizes and instructors’ personalised attention also help ensure that students receive the support they need to succeed. Join us if you want to pursue a career in Artificial Intelligence or Robotics and gain a deeper understanding of these technologies!
STEM CURRICULUM
They used to call it the future. Now it’s the present!
The Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy offers an exciting and interactive educational experience that equips young individuals with the skills necessary for a successful future career.
Coding has been proclaimed the “new literacy” by educators and experts, as having a basic understanding of it has become crucial for success in our rapidly evolving world. By teaching young people how to program, we are equipping them with the skills necessary to thrive in today’s society.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is set to impact all industries within the next decade, regardless of whether you’re a plumber or a physician. Although you won’t necessarily need a background in Computer Science to perform your job, it’s crucial to understand how AI works.
Young people today have a keen interest in science and technology and understand that knowing these areas can lead to new and exciting career opportunities. To nurture this interest and cultivate expertise, we engage students in hands-on technology activities that foster a deeper understanding of essential technologies and bring excitement to the learning environment.
Enhancing students’ abilities in problem-solving, teamwork, creativity, and technical understanding, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics offer a collaborative and captivating learning experience.
Why Robotics and AI?
It’s a career:
Staying ahead in the constantly advancing field of technology is crucial for students. Without a solid understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics and their role in modern society, they risk falling behind in career and educational opportunities compared to those who have already grasped the importance and workings of Computer Science and Engineering.
It helps with decision-making:
Grasping the concepts of cause and effect is crucial in readying our children for the future. While these basic principles are easy to comprehend, decision-making can become increasingly complex as one grows older. However, quick and prompt decision-making can be significantly facilitated by developing problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities. Children can nurture their problem-solving skills by programming robots, exploring AI, and tapping into their innate curiosity, often where innovative and transformative ideas originate.
It assists in problem-solving:
Children’s innate inquisitiveness drives them to develop crucial critical thinking skills. As they learn about and envision the capabilities of robots and AI, they hone their ability to analyse and logically deduce solutions. This exploration leads to a greater understanding of the potential applications and how to bring those ideas to life. The ability to solve math problems is more comprehensive than just paper-based exercises. Coding provides a fun, hands-on approach to developing reasoning and problem-solving skills, often without children realising they are learning these valuable skills.
It helps with STEM at school:
STEM subjects are not just for students who excel in academics. They provide a range of benefits that can be applied in all aspects of life and across various career paths. In this technologically advanced age, STEM education fosters critical thinking. It develops the cognitive skills crucial for success in the 21st century, where integrating robotics and AI will play a significant role in many industries.
It’s coding, so it’s the future:
It’s essential for the future of our world that young individuals are not just consumers of technology but also creators of it. Exposing them to computer programming is a must as the demand for coders in the job market continues to grow. With advancing technology, the value of their skills only increases. Nurturing and fostering interest in STEM subjects and emphasising their significance in the rapidly changing world is crucial for their education and future success.
