Robotics@QUT Fun Day at MDSS

Robotics@QUT is hosting a free Superhero themed robotics workshop day at Moreton Downs State School on Saturday 22nd June 2019. Students and parents can pre-register for up to 2 fun robotics workshops using Ozobots, LEGO WeDo 2.0, Bee Bots, LEGO Mindstorms EV3, Sphero, Cue, Dash and Anki Cozmo.

Workshop options are available for all ages from 4 years old and all levels of experience, with all equipment provided to allow students to work in pairs. Parents/guardians are encouraged to register themselves along with their children to join in the fun and will be required to supervise their children at all times (either as a registered participant or observer). To allow as many people to take part as possible, each individual will be limited to pre-registering for a maximum of 2 workshops (registrations in excess of this will be cancelled by the organiser), however extra workshop places may be available on the day if there are any late cancellations.

The Moreton Downs State School P&C will be holding a sausage sizzle and other activities, so come along and support the local community.

Is your child enjoying certain subjects at school but you are unsure of how it could connect to their future and career? Find our free, impartial and confidential Careers Counsellors near the registration table from 9am until 12pm to learn more about TAFE and University pathways. No appointments necessary for this service.
