About Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy

The Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy (ARCSA) is a STEM education centre for students aged 8 to 18, offering a structured learning pathway in robotics, programming, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems.


Since 2017, ARCSA has focused on teaching students not just how to use technology, but how to understand, design, and reason about intelligent systems. Our programs emphasise depth, clarity, and real tools, preparing students for future studies and careers in technology-related fields.


A Clear Learning Pathway

ARCSA offers a progressive pathway consisting of three core programs:

• Robotics with Blocks: A foundational course introducing computational thinking, robotics, logic, sensors, movement, and problem solving using visual programming.

• Robotics with Python: A transitional course where students move to text-based programming, working with robots and drones while developing strong Python skills and introductory AI concepts.

• Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AIR): Our most advanced program is designed for high school students ready for university-level robotics and artificial intelligence. AIR alternates between advanced robotics using ROS 2 and artificial intelligence projects, supported by professional platforms and real-world systems.


Real Tools, Real Understanding

ARCSA students work with real robots, sensors, and software frameworks used in modern research and industry. Small class sizes enable personalised guidance, and learning is built around structured challenges rather than shortcuts or prepackaged solutions.

As part of the AIR program, students may earn certificates from The Construct Robotics Institute, an internationally recognised robotics education organisation based in Barcelona, awarded upon successful completion of selected modules.


Learning Beyond the Classroom

Each year, ARCSA organises STEM excursions to places of scientific and technological significance, helping students connect classroom learning with real-world applications and career pathways.


Who ARCSA Is For

ARCSA is suited to students who are curious, motivated, and willing to engage with challenging ideas. Introductory courses require no prior experience, while advanced programs have clear prerequisites to ensure students are well prepared.
