Learning Pathways

Students explore the fundamentals of circuits and motor control by building a machine with a surprising personality that fights back to turn itself off!

Students become amusement park engineers as they design and build their own Bucking Bull ride. Along the way, they will explore the fundamentals of mechanical motion and motor control, discovering how gears, linkages, and a DC motor work together to bring their creation to life.

A modern take on the classic Magic 8-Ball! Students build and code their own interactive fortune teller using an Arduino and OLED screen. At the press of a button, it can predict dinner, weekend plans, study topics, and more. Best of all, students can customise the responses and make it uniquely their own.

A hands-on STEM project where students design, build, and program an Arduino-powered robot capable of driving around and avoiding obstacles autonomously. From assembling the physical chassis and wiring power distribution systems to coding motor drivers and ultrasonic distance sensors, students experience authentic engineering design while bringing their custom robot to life.

Build a fully articulated robotic arm powered entirely by hydraulics — no motors, no electronics. Using nothing but syringes, tubing, and liquid, students construct a multi-jointed arm and discover how fluid pressure can lift, push, and grip. A hands-on introduction to fluid power and mechanical motion that students build and take home.
