This blog is designed to promote mechatronics (often associated with robotics) to kids. My target age is 8 and up. The idea is to cover basic programming, electronics and 3D design/modeling required for kids to learn about and build simple (low cost) robots.

Before computer club Jack was interested in programming but had nowhere to start as Mick and I are computer illiterate. Computer club has given him a launch pad to pursue his interest and his dedication and enthusiasm to learn programming are astonishing. I am amazed by what he produces. Thanks you for providing this fantastic opportunity.
Adrian, we are really grateful for your creativity and generosity in getting this club happening. Our 10yo has learnt a huge amount and has amazed us with what he can achieve in Scratch. When I was 10, I learnt to program in BASIC on a Microbee 8k. It is a delight to hear my son talk me through the logic and processes of making things happen in Scratch, and talk about what he's seen the other kids do. Learning the beginnings of programing has been a productive, stimulating challenge for him. It's such good training for thinking. Cheers, Sally and Nick S.
