Testimonials

​​

"Thank you so much for coming out – our children loved the incursion!"

Rebackplains hub, Catholic Ed

"I can't speak highly enough of the incursion. The students had the best time and learnt some really cool facts and tricks. They have all decided we should do this course weekly, as a specialist lesson. Wouldn't that be a dream!

 

Thank you so much for this brilliant experience for the kids. They were especially ecstatic about being able to keep the Mini Bots. After my class attended, we went back to the classroom and experimented with them and observed how it changed the Mini Bot's movement by adding weights and changing the flag shapes. We then made observations about how it changed how the Mini Bot moved."
