No Fear Robotics
Thank you so much Geoff! You took the 'fear' out of using robotics for the teachers and showed the children how much fun they are to learn with. I'm glad we went with your suggestion for the two days...jumping straight in with the classes! Some feedback has come in from parents already, their children can't stop talking about them. Applying robotics to curriculum aligned lessons is a lot clearer also.
Sorry for the noisy, crazy days but the whole school gained a lot from the experience. We can't wait to purchase our own kits!
Your guidance was invaluable and we appreciate the effort it took for you to travel to us. Thank you, thank you, thank you! - Jo - Senior primary teacher
Passion and Commitment for STEM
Just a quick little note to say 'Thanks for a great day yesterday'. The students and staff really loved it and there have been many 'Likes' from parents on the Facebook post.
I applaud your enthusiasm for sharing STEM with students when you could be putting your feet up and enjoying your retirement! Thanks for sharing your passion and commitment.
Hope to see you again in the future. Regards Sue - Primary Principal
Exciting "kick start" to our journey!
Thank you so much Geoff! The children have not stopped talking about it. It has made them and their teachers excited. You have really pushed us along on our journey along the robotics path. We look forward to working with you again one day. All the best! - Natasha Primary Principal
Hidden Treasure
I just wanted to say thank you and tell you how much our students enjoyed Monday as well as our staff. Your professionalism and confidence made the day run so smoothly that it was impossible not to enjoy it. You are a true treasure hidden in the system.
We would love to have you back at some stage when we get ourselves equipped with robots especially to extend those who have a natural flair in this area.
Once again, thank you. - Gai - Primary Principal
