Introduction to Robotics using C++ Coding & Arduino microcontroller
This one hour session provides an opportunity to experience the fun you can have with robotics using the Arduino micro-processor and C++ style of coding. This session is best suited to those who want to learn robotics and are proficient in typing. Similar to coding with Python, this session gives an opportunity to try something different and experience the satisfaction of building and coding your first robotics project.
Absolutely no previous experience in coding required.

Soldering Workshop - Build an InfraRed Signal Detector
This 90 minute workshop will teach the basics of soldering as participants put together an InfraRed Signal Detector that they will be able to take away with them at the end of the session.
No previous experience required.
Participants under 12 are asked to be accompanied by an adult who is encouraged to participate with their children at no additional cost.
Thurs 9th July @ 2.00pm – 3.30pm
Thurs 16th July @ 2.00pm – 3.30pm
$55 for the 90 min session. All equipment supplied.
Robotics Workshop Courses - Term 3
Our engaging robotics courses are hands-on activity based learning, giving participants the skills and practice they need to be able to engineer and code their own robotic projects.
There are no age limits, but ask that those under the age of 12 are accompanied by an adult at no extra charge. Anyone with basic keyboard and mouse skills will be able to follow along with our courses. We find the average and earliest age is around 8-9 years for the best learning experience.
We have courses to suit all ages and abilities and look forward to sharing the enjoyment that robotics can bring.
Robotics Arduino Fundamentals Block Coding (6wks) (1101)
This foundational Course is aimed at participants who may have little to no experience in microprocessor programming. The aim of this course is to empower participants with enough knowledge to make their own robotics projects using block-coding and the Arduino microprocessor.
Each week we walk you through building and coding a new project, building the fundamental knowledge a little more each week. Participants have so much fun with these projects, they rarely realise they are learning.
Term 3 Starting 17th August
Mondays 5.30pm-7.00pm for 6 weeks

Robotics Arduino Intermediate Block Coding (6wks) (1102)
This course continues on from the Fundamentals course and adds more complex devices and methods to achieve more with the Arduino microprocessor. This course continues to use block-coding and was created to satisfy the hunger to learn more and do more, of the participants from the Fundamentals course.
Term 3 Starting 15th August
Saturdays 9.00am-10.30am for 6 weeks
$55 per sessionRegister to save a seat for Term 3
Robotics Arduino Fundamentals C++ (6wks) (1201)
This course shows participants how to program the Arduino using the native C-based language of the Arduino IDE. Fundamental digital theory is included in the course. This is a good starting point for those who have an interest in robotics and who have basic typing skills. This course tends to attract individuals aged 12 years and above but is not restricted to this age.
Term 3 Starting 20th August
Thursdays 5.30pm-7.00pm for 6 weeks
$55 per session
Robotics Arduino Intermediate C++ (6wks) (1202)
This course continues on from the Fundamentals course and adds more complex devices and methods to achieve more with the Arduino microprocessor. This course continues to use C++ style coding and was created to continue the fun and extend the capabilities and possibilities of developing projects with Arduino based robotics projects.
Robotics Arduino Advanced 1 C++ (6wks) (1203)
This advanced course delves into sophisticated techniques, modules, and devices available for the Arduino platform. Participants will deepen their expertise and gain the confidence to design and build almost any robotics project they can imagine. A solid understanding of Arduino programming is required, making this course ideal for those who have completed our intermediate courses or are active members of the Adelaide City Robotics Club.

Online Courses
Online courses are conducted via Zoom and cover the same content as all the courses.
These sessions require participants to have their own computer with the Arduino and Ardublock software installed, and a Techspace Learning Arduino Kit.
These can be purchased by contacting us at info@techspacelearning.org. Once purchased, this custom kit can be picked up in the Adelaide CBD, or can be mailed to anywhere in Australia for an additional cost.
In the event that the course is not what was expected, the kit can be returned to us for a refund. The Techspace Learning Arduino kit has all the components required for the Fundamental courses (six weeks). A Techspace Learning Extension kit is required for the Intermediate and Advanced courses.
