Anyone for Robotics?
Robots are becoming a big part of our economy, so would you like to learn about the subject from experts? If so there is an opportunity for a group of a minimum of 6 U3A members to attend a weekly 2-hour session for 8 sessions at:
• STEAM-ED Charitable Trust (formerly the educational class wing of House of Science).
• 671 Cameron Road, opposite Tauranga Boys College.
The course includes how to build a basic robot and how to design robots to carry out a particular task. There is a $30 fee for each session to cover the cost of the educators and other expenses, including morning tea/coffee/biscuits.
After the robotics have been designed and built, there would be opportunities to ‘compete’ with the Trust’s robotics club youngsters and do some mentoring.
If you think you may be interested, contact Peter Simmons on phone 576 0952, who will arrange an exploratory meeting with the Trust.
