Murieston Village Hall is delighted to host Murieston Robotics Club run by First Step Robotics.
Do you know someone age 6-17 who is curious about how things work? Do they love building, experimenting, and exploring new ideas? Then our Robotics Club is perfect for them! Develop problem-solving and teamwork skills in a supportive environment.
We have a regular weekly club, running on term-time Saturdays with 2 groups: one for children aged 6-9 and another for children aged 10-17.
The material will be focused on achieving a defined end goal, a step at a time. Children will learn increasingly complex ways to programming robots and compete in obstacle course challenges. The eventual aim is to compete as a team in national robotics competitions.
If you have questions, please contact First Step Robotics.
