About Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy
The Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy (ARCSA) is a STEM education centre for students aged 7 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 two core programs:
• Robotics Course: A foundational course introducing computational thinking, robotics, logic, sensors, movement, and problem solving using visual programming.
• 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.

Some ARCSA programs involve the use of advanced equipment, including but not limited to:
- Autonomous robots
- Sensors (e.g. cameras, LIDAR)
- Robotic arms and mechanical systems
- Drones (in approved environments)
All reasonable safety precautions are taken. However, participation involves inherent risks associated with educational robotics activities.
ARCSA is not liable for injury, loss, or damage arising from normal participation in activities, except where required by law.
Students must follow all safety instructions at all times. Failure to do so may result in removal from activities.
[hr]
ARCSA provides professional and educational equipment for student use. Students are expected to treat all equipment with care.
Intentional damage or damage caused by reckless behaviour may result in repair or replacement costs being charged to the parent or participant.
Normal wear and tear is expected and not charged.
[hr]
Regular attendance is important for progression.
- If a student cannot attend a session, parents should notify ARCSA as early as possible.
- Approved absences may be eligible for a credit, subject to notice requirements and availability.
- Credits are applied to the student’s account and are not refundable in cash.
If you believe an approved absence credit has not been applied, please email ARCSA with the relevant date(s).
[hr]
- Fees are charged as advertised for each program.
- Invoices have a 28-day payment period, unless otherwise stated.
- Weekly or fortnightly instalment options may be available via Enrolmy.
- Payments are managed through Enrolmy or other approved methods.
ARCSA does not control third-party platform fees (e.g., credit card processing fees) that may be charged by the platform provider.
[hr]
- Credits may be issued at ARCSA’s discretion for approved absences or exceptional circumstances.
- Credits are applied to accounts and are not transferable or redeemable for cash.
[hr]
ARCSA may offer discounts, including:
- Multiple booking discounts (e.g. siblings or enrolment in multiple courses)
- Referral discounts, where a new enrolment mentions an existing family
Discounts are subject to current terms, availability, and verification. Discounts may be cumulative where explicitly stated.
[hr]
Some programs offer optional assessments and certificates, including certificates issued by external organisations.
Certificates are awarded only upon successful completion of required assessments and are not guaranteed. Certificates do not constitute formal qualifications unless explicitly stated.
[hr]
ARCSA may organise excursions or external activities as part of its programs.
- Participation may require additional consent forms.
- ARCSA is not responsible for incidents occurring outside its direct supervision or premises, except where required by law.
- Transport arrangements, where applicable, will be communicated separately.
[hr]
Adult participants:

- Are responsible for their own conduct and safety
- Acknowledge that programs are educational and not professional certification unless explicitly stated
Adult programs are subject to the same expectations of respect, safety, and conduct as student programs.
[hr]
ARCSA staff do not administer medication.
Parents or participants must inform ARCSA of any relevant medical conditions that may affect participation.
ARCSA maintains a nut-aware environment. While precautions are taken, ARCSA cannot guarantee a nut-free space.
[hr]
From time to time, photographs or videos may be taken during sessions for educational or promotional purposes.
Consent preferences are managed through enrolment forms. If you wish to update consent, please contact ARCSA in writing.
[hr]
ARCSA reserves the right to:
- Make reasonable changes to programs, schedules, or instructors
- Update these Terms and Conditions as required
Updated Terms and Conditions will be published on the ARCSA website and apply prospectively.
