domabotics - Student Incursions

Student Incursions

In our Incursions, students learn not only how to use technology, but also how to create with it. All our workshops foster problem solving skills as well as encouraging team work and cooperation. Along with technology skills and concepts our workshops also touch a wide variety of other curriculum topics such as Math, Science, Literacy and Numeracy.

Our mobile workshop lab can set up in just about any classroom or teaching space. We will bring along all equipment necassary (robots, worksheets, props etc as necessary) so all you need to provide are keen and enthusiastic students!

Robotics in the morning and stopmotion in the afternoon? Not a problem!

Full day of robotics with the one class? Easily done!

We are extremely flexible with all our workshops so please don't hesitate to contact us.

SCRATCH Programming - Digital story telling

Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. This workshop will focus on the use of Scratch to create Digital stories

SCRATCH is a free programming language, so students can continue their projects in class or at home, long after the workshop has finished.
