Professional Learning in the Pub (February, 2023)
Looking for new ideas for teaching design and digital technologies? Want to connect with like-minded peers with a focus on STEM education? This event is for you!
This month, Bitlink has the inspirational Jameson Harvey from Red Dirt Robotics as our guest speaker. In 2019, Jameson's team won the the national First Lego League robotics championship. The competition sent them to Houston, where they finished 2nd in the world! Following on from their win, Jameson founded Royal Robotics to empower and engage the next generation of engineers. In 2022, he started Red Dirt Robotics, travelling over 35,000 kilometres to take his passion to some of Australia's most remote schools!

Special Guest
Our special guest is Jameson Harvey from Red Dirt Robotics. Jameson wanted to bring his passion for robotics to some of Australia's most remote schools, so he kitted out his Troopcarrier and hit the highways! In his talk, Jameson will talk about his journey, what robotics has meant for him, what robotics can open up for your students, and how they can get involved in robotics competitions like he did!
