hi all 👋 this is a
#Canberra-based post about a kids in
#STEM programme, apologies for the wall of text if that’s not relevant to you 😬
does anyone know any Canberra (or surrounds) kids in grades 7-10 who are interested in STEM & would like to join a
#LEGO #robotics team? I’m volunteering with a Canberra team participating in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge (FIRST = “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology”, it’s not the first one 🤪)
the various programmes are broken out into age ranges – info about this particular one (the “challenge” level) is on their website at
https://www.firstaustralia.org/first-lego-league-challenge although their website is super confusing & unhelpful unless you already know exactly what you’re looking for
this team meets on Sundays in Acton from 11:00-14:00 with the skills building running through until mid-November & then there’s a regional competition in Wollongong on 14th November
so if you know anyone who has kids in the right age range that might find this interesting, pls pass on the info & DM me if anyone wants to join or have a chat (pls no personal details, we’ll switch to Signal after an initial DM). I’d especially love to get some more girls & enby folks involved, but the team welcomes all genders
I’ve been asked to make it super-duper clear that this is not LEGO Masters – apparently they’ve had a couple of kids come along in previous years only to bail after a few weeks when they didn’t get to build LEGO Masters style stuff 🙃
anyone who’s interested in learning some coding (Python using PyBricks), engineering, & problem-solving while learning about biodiversity (this year’s theme), teamwork, & planning might be a good fit
thx all, pls share with anyone who might have or know kids in or near Canberra who would be interested 🙏
