Micromelon Robotics attended the World Science Festival in Ipswich, delivering hands-on robotics workshops to families and students from across the Western Brisbane and Ipswich regions.
Set up with Rovers, laptops, and wooden maze courses, the Micromelon team guided hundreds of young participants through the basics of programming. Kids got to connect to a Rover, write their first block-based code, and watch their robot navigate through challenges in real time.
The Ipswich event is part of the World Science Festival's regional program, bringing science and technology experiences to communities across Queensland. For Micromelon, attending both the Ipswich and Toowoomba regional events alongside the main Brisbane festival ensures that as many students and families as possible get the chance to try educational robotics firsthand.
Public events continue to be one of the most effective ways for Micromelon to introduce the platform to new audiences and connect with teachers who are looking for ways to bring robotics into their classrooms.
