This brand-new Robotics with Python Course is designed for students who want to take their coding and engineering skills to the next level. Over the course of one year, students will learn Python programming while building and controlling real robots and drones.

The curriculum is based on Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Academy, a world-class provider of STEM education. Students will begin with Python fundamentals and quickly progress to real-world applications, including coding robots to navigate mazes, balance themselves, play soccer, and even program drones with AI-powered vision.

Whether your child is new to Python or already familiar with coding, this course offers the perfect balance of structured learning and creative problem-solving.

Here’s a sample of what students will cover: Python Coding Basics

Syntax, variables, loops, and functions
Classes, objects, and data structures

Robotics Projects

Cargo retrieval, maze navigation, parallel parking
Colour sorter, traffic lights, robotic arm, stair climber
Robo Soccer and line following using calculus (PID)

Drone Projects

Keyboard-controlled flight and aerial mapping
Face and object tracking
Gesture recognition and traffic analysis

AI & Computer Vision

Hands-on introduction to computer vision concepts
Using sensors, cameras, and data to make smart decisions

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this year-long course, students will:

Understand the fundamentals of Python and apply them to real hardware
Program robots and drones to complete increasingly complex missions
Gain confidence in STEM through hands-on, project-based learning
Build problem-solving, logic, and creative thinking skills

BEHAVIOUR

Adelaide Robotics Academy strives to provide a caring, safe environment for children. These rules have been established to protect children from injury. Parents may be asked to remove their child if the behaviour interferes with the well-being of other children.

The following behaviour is considered inappropriate:
Causing physical or emotional harm to another child or adult by hitting, biting, kicking, throwing or any other physical activity.
Use of inappropriate language, spitting, or other forms of verbal abuse or degradation directed at other children or adults.
Repeated refusal to comply with staff requests or Adelaide Robotics Academy rules.
Behaviour that is potentially harmful to themselves.

[li]Repeated inappropriate behaviour may result in child suspension from Robotics Academy for some time. The exact time frame will vary depending on the severity of the behaviour at the teacher's discretion.[/li]

[li]To maintain order, security and discipline, but also to avoid compromising the child's integrity and of others, if the child demonstrates a lack of control or does not obey their teacher's instructions, we will have to contact the parent/guardian to remove their child from class.[/li]
