How to Book a Robotics Incursion with Robotics (robotics.com.au)
Robotics (robotics.com.au) takes school incursion bookings through its online booking page. To secure a date, go to the Book Online page and submit your booking there; the site states that you should proceed to that page "to secure your robotics program date." This route is intended for schools and other educational organisations arranging an on-site program, and the provider offers incursions across year levels from pre-school through senior school.
Before you book: confirm what you need
The booking page is the entry point, but the program you choose depends on your students. Robotics organises incursions by stage, so identify the right one first:
| Program | Year level | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-School Incursions | Ages 3–4 | Stimulating problem-solving for young, curious minds |
| Junior School Incursions | Foundation year to Grade 4 | Connection between engineering and robotic construction, coding and design |
| Middle School Incursions | Grade 5 to Year 8 | Innovating and collaborating to solve real-life problems |
| Senior School Incursions | Year 9/10 | Increasingly complex problem-solving, academic and career pathways |
Beyond these, the site also lists Robot STEM Workshops, Out of School Workshops, School Holiday Workshops, Leadership Workshops, Camps and NDIS Programs. If your booking is for one of those formats rather than a standard school incursion, check the relevant page before starting the booking.
Steps to book
- Decide your program and year level. Use the table above to match your students to the correct incursion type.
- Check your preferred date. The site's instruction is to confirm your program date before booking, so have a date (or a short list of options) ready.
- Go to the Book Online page. This is the booking entry point linked from the site's main navigation and from the "BOOK ONLINE" and "BOOK INCURSION ONLINE" buttons on the home page.
- Submit your booking. The site describes this as the way to secure your robotics program date.
- Expect tailoring. Robotics states that its incursions are "tailored to each school's needs" and connect with science, technology and digital technologies, so be prepared to describe your school's requirements.
What to verify before you commit
- Availability for your date. The site frames booking as the way to secure a date, which implies dates are not guaranteed until the booking is processed.
- Program fit. Incursions are described as tailored, so confirm that the program you select matches your year level and curriculum goals.
- Format. If you need a camp, holiday workshop or NDIS program rather than a classroom incursion, use the corresponding page instead of the standard incursion booking.
If you need more information first
The site provides Resources, a Blog, a Shop and a Contact page alongside the booking flow. If your question isn't answered by the program pages, the Contact page is the place to reach the provider before booking. The organisation behind the programs is Kevin and Pauline, described on the site as innovators in robotics education for over 20 years working with schools and other educational organisations.
Common sticking points
- Booking without a confirmed date. The site explicitly ties booking to securing a program date, so treat the date as the first thing to settle.
- Choosing the wrong year-level program. Pre-school, junior, middle and senior incursions are distinct; a mismatch means the content won't suit your students.
- Assuming all offerings book the same way. Incursions, workshops, camps and NDIS programs are listed separately, so start from the page that matches what you actually want.
